IPS custom package user source

Hello guys,

I'm new to this forum and got a question which may be quite uncommon. I created a custom IPS package (using this How to) with some software I have to install frequently to different Solaris 11 zones (MongoDB to be precise).

This software will be installed under "/opt/mongodb" and has to be run by a user called "mongo". So I created a manifest like below and as I wanted to install the package the command told me that "mongo" is an unknown user.

As a little background. My zones are using LDAP to authenticate users and function users (like "mongo"). So "mongo" is not present in the "/etc/passwd" file. I don't know why but the "pkg install"-command wants to have the user to be present in "/etc/passwd" and fails because of this LDAP thing.

I'm able to create directories and files and "chown" them to "mongo" but apparently unable to install packages which refer to the user directly.

Manifest (excerpt)

Code:

dir  path=opt/mongodb owner=mongo group=mongo mode=0755
dir  path=opt/mongodb/bin owner=mongo group=mongo mode=0755
file opt/mongodb/bin/mongod \     path=opt/mongodb/bin/mongod owner=mongo \     group=mongo mode=0644

Thanks and regards,
Daniel Heitepriem

DESCRIPTION

       mongo  is  a JavaScript shell (with GNU readline capabilities).	It supports interactive and non-interactive use.  When used interactively,
       JavaScript can be used to query the database or perform any other function normally available with SpiderMonkey.  Database output  is  dis-
       played in JSON format.

       If JavaScript files are specified on the command line, the shell will run non-interactively, running each one in sequence and then exiting.

EXAMPLES

       mongo  start the shell, connecting to the server at localhost:27017 and using the test database

       mongo foo
	      start the shell using the foo database at localhost:27017

       mongo 192.169.0.5/foo
	      start the shell using the foo database at 192.169.0.5:27017

       mongo 192.169.0.5:9999/foo
	      start the shell using the foo database at 192.169.0.5:9999

       mongo script1.js script2.js script3.js
	      run three scripts and exit
