Running Lucee 4.5 on CentOS Linux.
We’re currently running on a test server and have been reviewing Lucee
settings and functionality before installing on our first production server.
I have a question about what we should be using for the “run as” user for
Lucee/Tomcat that is prompted for during the Lucee install.
On this test server, we chose the default, which is “root”. I’m not
entirely sure that was the best choice due to security reasons.
On our old CFMX box, that we are migrating from, we have CF running as the
Apache user.
Would that (Apache) be the recommended user we should use for Lucee/Tomcat,
or would we be better off setting up some completely new user, such as a
user named “tomcat”?
If we do use something other than root, are there any permissions, access,
or functionality issues that we should be aware of?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I would certainly suggest to install Lucee under a separate user that
cannot login. I run my production servers using Nginx, but in my experience
on CentOS, Lucee runs just fine under a separate username.
I think it would be better if the installer asked you to specify a user and
user group to install Lucee under, rather than offering root as the default
option.

“some other user” works for me just fine
