Title

Installing / Upgrading Authentication Services via the MCU on Mac OSX 10.15 and up fails with "Could not run 'id' as another user. Verify the elevation command, username and password and try again".
Description

Installing / Upgrading Authentication Services via the Management Console for Unix ( MCU ) on Mac OSX 10.15 and up fails with:
"Could not run 'id' as another user. Verify the elevation command, username and password and try again".
Cause

One of the tools used in the elevate.sh script runs a 32-bit executable. Mac 10.15 is incompatible with 32-bit executables.
Resolution

Product Defect ID: 244986 to be fixed in a future release of the MCU.

Workaround:

1) Do not elevate credentials in the MCU. Install as root.
2) Install manually on the individual 10.15 Macs.
