Enabling database connectivity for non-root users (Linux and AIX)

If you must run IBM® WebSphere® Application Server or Apache Tomcat as a non-root user, then you must set the appropriate permission on the database Java™ archive files that you upload.

Procedure

To set permission:

  1. Log in as root.
  2. In a command line, change to the WebSphere_install_directory/profiles/profile_name/config/cells/cell_name/ram_jdbc directory.
  3. Type the following command: chmod 755 database_jar_file_name.jar (for example, chmod 755 db2jcc4.jar).
  4. Repeat step 3 for each database Java archive file that you uploaded.
