That's right. Starting a process as another user on Unix does not use the
environment variables for the user (as the user's .profile file does not
get invoked). This is talked about at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1334433&group_id=33142&atid=407381.
Note that you can search for answers to questions like these on the STAF
forums and mailing lists. For example, see forum posting
http://sourceforge.net/projects/staf/forums/forum/104046/topic/3463778 for
more information.
As possible workarounds, you could either:
1) Use ENV options in addition to option USERNAME on your PROCESS START
request to set environment variables for the user, or
2) Specify "su - %u -c %C" for the SHELL option on your PROCESS START
request (where %u is replaced with the value specified for the USERNAME
option and %C is replaced with the COMMAND option) to run a command as
another user. Doing it this way, you wouldn't set PROCESSAUTHMODE to None
(you'd leave it as its default value of "Disabled"). You can see using su
will set the user's environment variables by running the "env" command.
Note that you need to specify the env command in the ColonLengthColon
format, e.g. :3:env so that the STAF command parser does not mistake it
for option ENV. For example:
STAF 172.18.99.136 PROCESS START SHELL "su - %u -c %C" COMMAND :3:env
USERNAME ngbtst02 WAIT RETURNSTDOUT RETURNSTDERR

Hi, Sharon:
Thank you for your reply, My problem is that i don't start STAFProc as
root , i have fixed it .
But i meet another problem that those environment variables which be
defined in the executer user's .profile file have no effect.
For example , we define a variables 'TestDir' in ngbtst02's .profile file
, and run the follwing the command
staf 172.18.99.136 process start shell command 'echo $TestDir' username
ngbtst02 password ngbtst02 wait returnstdout returnstderr .
it will return "not found testdir' .
can you tell me how to let those varables defined for specify username
have effect.
thanks

主题： Re: [staf-users] STAF process authorized
This error is either occuring because:
1) STAFProc was not started as root on machine 172.18.20.136. You have
to start STAFProc as root in order to have the right authorization to be
able to run processes via STAF as another user.
or
2) No valid user id called ngbtst02 is defined on machine 172.18.20.136
I'm guessing it's because STAFProc was not started as root on machine
172.18.20.136. Start STAFProc as root on machine 172.18.20.136 and set
the PROCESSAUTHMODE to None and retry and it should work.
If it doesn't, please provide the following information:
What is the output from:
STAF 172.18.20.136 MISC LIST PROPERTIES
and
STAF 172.18.20.136 VAR LIST
Note that you do not have to specify the PASSWORD option on the PROCESS
START request as passwords are ignored on Unix systems when
PROCESSAUTHMODE is set to None.
Though this is not causing the RC 46 error.
