Bug# OE00089712
CAUSE:
The account used to start the AdminServer up must have rights to open and read from the local password file /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow. Usually, only root has access to these files.
FIX:
Do not use progress explorer, login to UNIX directly and use command line utilities to manage brokers.
