logins/root permissions within scripts.

[andrea.bertorelli]

Hi to everyone,

I use in my project a function that passed a DPE string checks if it exists, otherwise it add in a certaint dpt.

Unfortunately, creating variables requires a specific permission, which via UI I can provide by trivially logging in. Unfortunately I am unable to automate this when starting a Script as I have only been able to handle the Login framework from UI.

Is there a topic or manual on how I can implement a login from Script as well?

Thanks

Andrea

Not sure I understand the problem correctly.

A control manager starts as user "root" by default. Therefore your script should already have all permissions.

You can use the option "-user <username[:password]> (in the console/progs file) to specifiy a different user but this would require that you enter the password which I would not recommend for security reasons.

If you are using SSA for Managers you can create a certificate for your script and username. This would allow you to not enter the password if you really need a different user than root.

Good morning,

Thank you for your response. I actually didn't know they start with root privileges, this should make my work easier. Unfortunately, I already had codes that provided the login by default, and I didn't try to inhibit that part to see if they still worked.

I will try, in the meantime thank you very much, also for the second tip!
