Defined Type: websphere::ownership

This defined type is used to manage the user and group ownership of a target directory.

While IBM Installation Manager does allow installing as a non-root user, this module does not support that use-case. When installing as non-root, package metadata is located in a non-predictable location, and ultimately, this data could be located in several locations. That said, this module will install packages as root. However, it's often desirable to modify the ownership of the installation post-install.

Example

websphere::ownership { 'some_dir':
  user  => 'webadmin',
  group => 'webadmins',
  path  => '/opt/IBM/WebSphere',
}

Parameters

path

The full path to the directory that ownership should be managed. Defaults to the resource title.

Example: '/opt/IBM/WebSphere'

user

Required. Specifies the user that should "own" this path. All files and directories under path will be owned by this user.

group

Required. Specifies the group that should "own" this path. All files and directories under path will be owned by this group.
