In order to log on to the server, an initial user by the name of exlibris with access to su or sudo is required. This user can be deleted after the installation. 

Ex Libris needs the root password for the following functions:

• Create the following users:

  • Primo with the group ID exlibris

  • Oracle with the group ID dba

• Enable the users listed above to create directories and files under the filesystems: /exlibris, /exlibris1, /exlibris2, and so forth.

• Install Primo and the additional software listed in Server Requirements.
