Configure the Sudo User Account for Data Repository (Optional)

Before you install Data Repository, log in as the root user. However, in some environments, unrestricted root user access is not available. If root user access is not available, a sudo user with access to a limited set of commands can install and run the software.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the computer where you want to install Data Repository as the root user.
2. Add the following command alias to the command alias section of the /etc/sudoers file:

   Cmnd_Alias CA_DATAREP = /tmp/installDR.bin,/opt/CA/IMDataRepository_vertica7/dr_validate.sh,/opt/CA/IMDataRepository_vertica7/dr_install.sh,/usr/bin/vim,/usr/bin/reboot
   
   ## Allows the Data Repository user to manage the Data Repository
   
   dasudouser_name ALL = CA_DATAREP
   

   This command alias details the commands that the sudo user must be able to run.

   The sudo user account is configured.
