Run as root
In order for my application to work properly I need to run it with super user privileges but when it is run as a bundle on the HP VAN controller, it is run as the unprivileged 'sdn' user.
If I modify the start scripts to run the controller as the root user, the controller starts up but it fails to function and I see a lot of exceptions in the output logs.
What can I do if I need root access in my application?

Re: Run as root
Hi sdnindia,
Let's assume that I have not done anything yet and would like to run the controller (version 2.x +) as the root user. How would I go about doing that?
Regards,
Sepehr Hosseini.

Re: Run as root
Hello sepbot,
The controller and apps are designed to function only with non-root user due to security considerations. Are you able to share why your app needs to run with root privileges?
