Procedure

  1. Open the <RemoteEngineInstallationDirectory>/etc/org.talend.remote.jobserver.server.cfg file.
  2. Specify the Java path to be used by the impersonated user by adding this path to the following parameter: 
    org.talend.remote.jobserver.commons.config.JobServerConfiguration.JOB_LAUNCHER_PATH

    This setting ensures that the impersonated user has access to the Java installation used by the engine.

  3. Edit the org.talend.remote.jobserver.server.TalendJobServer.RUN_AS_ALLOWLIST value and add all the users you need.
    The following table presents how different values of this parameter impact task runs with impersonation:
    Parameter value example Impersonation user example Task run Note
    anybody No impersonated user is used Accepted  
    anybody Jim Accepted All users are allowed
    * No impersonated user is used Rejected You must specify a user
    * Jim Accepted All users are allowed
    Jim,Jules No impersonated user is used Rejected You must specify a user recognized by this parameter
    Jim,Jules Jim Accepted Jim is recognized by this parameter
    Ju* Jules Accepted Jules is recognized by this parameter because Jules matches Ju*

    The value of this parameter is case-sensitive.

    Note:
    • This parameter is required if you need to use impersonation to run tasks.
    • Spaces and commas are valid separators for user name values in this file.
