ERROR:DBI1135E The primary group 't_grp' of user ID 'tuser' is
invalid.
The error shows on point 4. that "_" character should be
allowed:
DBI1135E The primary group '"<users>"' of user ID
'"<test-user>"' is
invalid.
Explanation:
The primary group name of the instance user ID:
1. Cannot be one of "guests", "admins", "users" or "local".
2. Cannot start with "sql" or "ibm".
3. Cannot start with a numeral number.
4. Can contain only lowercase letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and
the
underscore character ( _ ).
After applying the fix, the '_' character will be valid for both
root and non-root installs. |
