Disabling the security check of $ONEDB_HOME and subdirectories
You must never disable security checking on $ONEDB_HOME, but you can partially disable the automatic security check of a specific installation directory.
About this task
This task is intended only if you have no other recourse in order to do essential work on the database server and can accept the consequences of disabling security on $ONEDB_HOME. If you disable the security checking, you must use the ifmx_security.sh script to limit the number of SUID and SGID programs on your system.
To disable security checking:
Procedure
Results
The record-installdir-is-insecure script creates a /etc/onedb directory (if necessary) that is owned by root and has 555 permissions. In this directory, the script creates a file named server-xx.xx.yyy that has 444 permissions. The xx.xx portion of the file name is the major version number and yyy portion is the fix pack number. This file lists the $ONEDB_HOME values for which security checking is disabled.
If you later upgrade HCL OneDB, you will be prompted to verify that you want to continue using an $ONEDB_HOME that is not secure in the newer version.
