The GUI application must be invoked as root. During installation of the GUI package, an entry for the root login and password is automatically configured in the GUI password file, allowing root to connect to the server using the GUI. If you plan to allow users other than root to administer LifeKeeper using the GUI, then you need to configure LifeKeeper GUI users.
To allow users other than root to administer or monitor LifeKeeper, type the following command as root:
/opt/LifeKeeper/bin/lkpasswd <user>
This command will prompt you to enter the user’s password twice. This command may also be used to modify the password for an existing GUI user.
To prevent an existing user from administering or monitoring LifeKeeper, type the following command as root:
/opt/LifeKeeper/bin/lkpasswd –d <user>
This command will remove the entry for the specified user from the GUI password file.
Note: This command updates the GUI password file on only the server being administered. You may want to propagate the update to other GUI password files in the LifeKeeper cluster.
