Hi! i was wondering if it's possible to define another user when installing the xmatters agent on linux.
Per security we have to use specific username in our enviroment.
Is possible to avoid the xmatters user and change it to something else?
Thanks!

Hey Dante,
I'm still trying to track down how one would do this in the installation script, but in the mean time, if you had an existing installation, you can change the process owner, but keep in mind that file ownerships should be changed to the new owner. Probably everything in the /opt/xmatters directory and make sure the user should have write access to its ~/.java dir in order to generate and save its ID that identifies it when connecting to xMatters.
I'll see if there is a way to do this in the installation phase, so sit tight.
Happy Monday!
Hey Dante, I tracked down the developers and it turns out the user is hard coded in the RPM pre/post install scripts :(. So making the change post install is the way to go for now.
I did open PM-6515 to address this.
Hey Travis.
Thanks for the follow-up! It would be nice if that could be customized at the install.
Anyway thanks! I will follow up with the change post-install.
