Validating user impersonation

Last updated: 9/16/2026

Perform these steps for each impersonated user.

Procedure

  1. Use sudo to log in interactively as the same user as the JobServer is running as.
    In a default configuration, it is talenduser.

    Example

    sudo -i -u talenduser
  2. Check the shell used.
    ps -p $$
  3. Check that Java is available on the PATH.
    java -version
  4. Confirm that it is the intended Java version.
  5. If it is not, do one of the following:
    1. Modify the secure_path configuration in sudoers to include the Java directory.
    2. Add a symbolic link to the Java executable explicitly under /usr/bin.
