What was the error?

$ arssockd -I ARCHIVE -S

The command >arssockd< can only be run by the owner of the command

Or this message is displayed on the console:
arssockd (ARCHIVE): 04/25/15 18:43:47 0 ARSMSG 2 152 The command >arssockd< can only be run by the owner of the command

Related errors?

None.

What were you doing?

Probably trying to start CMOD for the first time after a fresh install, or an upgrade.

Troubleshooting

In some systems, the owner of all of the Content Manager OnDemand files installed under /usr/lpp/ars/bin, /opt/ondemand/bin, or /opt/IBM/ondemand/V9.x has been changed to be 'non-root'. This is typically done for security reasons, so that a remote exploit of the OnDemand daemon (arssockd) doesn't immediately provide root privileges to the attacker. After an upgrade, these permissions may have been re-written, and need to be reimplemented.

When performing a new installation, ensure that the following parameters all match the user name that the CMOD database runs under:

Ensure that these parameters both have matching case. If one is set to 'ARCHIVE', and the other is set to 'archive', arssockd will throw the ARS1154E error.

In ars.ini:

SRVR_INSTANCE_OWNER=ARCHIVE

In ars.cfg:

DB2INSTANCE=ARCHIVE
