You can create a custom home directory and define your own umadmin user password prior to installing Unified Manager. This task is optional, but some sites might need the flexibility to override Unified Manager installation default settings.
The default Unified Manager installation performs the following tasks:
adminto the umadmin user.
Because some installation environments restrict access to /home, the installation fails. You must create the home directory in a different location. Additionally, some sites might have rules about password complexity or require that passwords be set by local administrators rather than being set by the installing program.
If your installation environment requires that you override these installation default settings, follow these steps to create a custom home directory and to define the umadmin user's password.
When this information is defined prior to installation, the installation script discovers these settings and uses the defined values instead of using the installation default settings.
Additionally, the default Unified Manager installation includes the umadmin user in the sudoers files (ocum_sudoers and ocie_sudoers) in the /etc/sudoers.d/ directory. If you remove this content from your environment because of security policies, or because of some security monitoring tool, you must add it back. You need to preserve the sudoers configuration because some Unified Manager operations require these sudo privileges.
No security policies should restrict sudo privileges for the Unified Manager maintenance user or some Unified Manager operations will fail. Verify that you are able to run the following sudo command when logged in as the umadmin user after successful installation. sudo /etc/init.d/ocie status This command should return the appropriate status of the ocie service without any issues.
After you have installed Unified Manager you must specify the umadmin user login shell.
