SYMPTOM(s):
Getting error 9897 when attempting to start the AdminServer with the User and Password parameters.
progress:Y:No Group Checking: User is not authenticated. (9897)
Machine where the AdminServer is running is an HP-UX Trusted System
AdminServer being started by non root user.
FACT(s) (Environment):
HP-UX
OpenEdge 10.x
OpenEdge 10.1x
OpenEdge 10.2x
OpenEdge Server Technology Category: AdminServer
AdminServer starts fine from command line without the -User and -Password parameters
CAUSE:
When starting the AdminServer with the -User and -Password parameter, you are requesting Progress to perform authentication checking for you when starting the AdminServer. The account used to start the AdminServer based on the -User and -Password parameter must have rights to open and read from the local password file /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. On a trusted system this access is normally not allowed as only root has access to these files.
FIX:
There are several ways to address this issue:
Either start the AdminServer as a non root user without making use of the -User and -Password parameters or
Grant the user starting the AdminServer access to the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files or
Start the AdminServer as root.
