Titel
Management Console for Unix error during join of Privilege Manager for Sudo plugin client: "Could not run 'id' as another user" -
Beschreibung
The following error message appears when trying to join a Privilege Manager for Sudo plugin client to the policy using a non-root user and the elevated credentials option:
Could not run 'id' as another user. Verify the elevation command, username and password and try again.
-
Ursache
The non-root user being used with the elevated credentials option is only in the local sudoers file and not in the Privilege Manager for Sudo policy.
During the join the local sudoers file is initially used, however it is then replaced by the one in the policy.
If the non-root user does not have an entry with the correct permissions in both the local sudoers file and the policy sudoers file then the error will be produced. -
Lösung
Ensure that the non-root user has the correct entry in both the local and policy sudoers files.
