Operating Systems Solaris IPS custom package user source Post 302974261 by dheitepriem on Friday 27th of May 2016 04:26:54 AM

Just a quick information how I solved this issue:

I created an install script which
1) adds the corresponding user temporarely
2) installs the package from the local IPS
3) deletes the user it created earlier
4) "chowns" the files/directories to the final user (user information are now retrieved via LDAP)
5) uninstalls itself
