Craig, I spoke to the Product Manger of VAIM on this at CA World this week. He is a aware that this is an issue at many customers and as such limits the ability of the product to be leveraged to its strength. They are working on this... Theoretically systemEdge (I think) can run as a non-root user, and provided the remote communication protocol (CAM/UDP Port 4104) can open a connection and the credentials you CAN provide at the console can write to the install area on the remote host specified, you *should* be able to install systemEdge with VAIM as non-root. At least in Linux/Unix I'm relatively certain this is possible. Winders is another story.
We didn't do any such forethought in my shop, but rather simply sent Unix and Windows packages to SA's to install as root/administrator. Now I need to assimilate these individually installed agents into VAIM. Talking this through with the SE at CA World, it seems possible. -Rob On 11/18/2011 4:01 PM, Craig Cook wrote: > > I am interested in this as well. > > It does not look like a deployment can use 2 sets of credentials. > > e.g. For me to deploy sysedge to a unix host I have to login as a > regular user first, then su to root.
