Do you have the following line in the STAF.cfg file on the system where
you are trying to start the process:
SET PROCESSAUTHMODE none
The following command will tell you whether the Process Auth Mode is None
on the system:
STAF local PROCESS LIST SETTINGS
Note that you must set the PROCESSAUTHMODE to None on Unix machines to run
a process as another user. Note that this indicates that usernames will be
honored but not authenticated. In this mode, passwords are ignored and
processes are started under the indicated username. You can also set the
PROCESSAUTHMODE dynamically via a PROCESS SET request. For example:
STAF local PROCESS SET PPROCESSAUTHMODE None
Also, note that on Unix, STAFProc must be started as root in order to have
the necessary permissions to run a process as another user.

[staf-users] start procee with different user on RH4 server
Hi, guys:
I want to use process service to start a shell command with another user
rather than current user,. Follow <STAF V3 User's Guide>, I think that
such a command may do that:
staf local process start shell command whoami username yl password 123456
wait returnstdout returnstderr
But it failed when execute this command. Below is error message:
Error during process authentication for user name yl
Somebody could tell me why?
I also get an infomation from
http://www.mail-archive.com/staf-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00219.html
that even this command executes succcessed, all enviroment variables
associated with the new user will not be loaded automatically. But my
shell command depends on enviroment variables such as PATH and other. Is
there any way to make staf load enviroment variables automatically?
