Fix Recommendation

Review procedures for controlling, granting access to, and tracking the use of the MarkLogic software installation account.

Ensure use of this account is restricted to the minimum number of personnel required and no unauthorized access to the account has been granted.

MarkLogic should be installed by a user account that has "sudo" privileges to run "yum" or "rpm". At a command prompt, on the system where MarkLogic is installed, run one of the following commands:
> sudo yum install /path/to/MarkLogic-version.rpm
or
> sudo rpm -i /path/to/MarkLogic-version.rpm

Either of these commands will install MarkLogic with the owner set correctly to "daemon".

If user is not "daemon", ensure Organization policy and system documentation states that a separate user is needed and approved.
