Ownership of installed Directory Server Enterprise Edition elements depends on that software distribution that you have installed. Assuming install-user is the user who runs unzip command and instance-owner is the user who creates a server instance, the ownership assignment table looks like the following:
Installed Directory Server Enterprise Edition Elements |
Ownership |

Zip |
Native |
|
Software files |
install-user |
root |
Data files - Administrative files |
install-user |
root or noaccess |
Data files - Server instances |
instance-owner |
instance-owner |
Processes - ns-slapd daemon |
instance-owner |
instance-owner |
Processes - Common Agent Container daemon |
install-user |
root |
Processes - Application Server daemon |
install-user |
root or noaccess |
Processes - Directory Service Control Center Registry daemon |
install-user |
noaccess |
For files and processes related to server instance, ownership can be freely chosen (instance-owner), no matter which distribution (ZIP or native) is used. Each server instance may have a different ownership.
For all other files, ownership must be assigned as following:
Zip distribution: To a single user (install-user)
Native distribution: To root or noaccess
