    How make an AD Domain user to be a super-user

    I have a very stupid case, I have to use a domain user to install one software in RHL4.8, but this software need a super-user permission but not root.
    So I need a domain user who has super-user permission.
    Not use su, sudo.
    If I use su or sudo ,the software will be installed under root. The requirement is the software must be installed under a domain user.
    How can I do?

    What?

    AD domains is a windows thing, not linux. by RHL, do you mean RHEL, Redhat Enterprise Linux? Redhat Linux is quite old, I think around over 7 years old now.

    There is no such thing as a super user, only root (su is switch user, not super user). you access root by opening a root shell (su) or by running individual commands using root's permissions with sudo.

    What software are you trying to install, and how are you trying to install it?

    I'm not trying to be offensive, but you are asking the wrong question. You've decided how you want to do something, and are asking how to force the system to do it your way. A better question is "How can I install XXXXXX software to work as a regular user?" Or something along those lines, we don't really know what problem you're trying to solve, just that you have a problem in whatever way you're trying to do it.

    This software has not been released.

    If I use a domain user to install the software ,it throw an error about ClassNotFoundException. The install folder is under the domain user's folder.If I use root to install, it is ok.
    Because the requirement is that I must use a domain user to start the software's service. When the software is installing, it will write many infos about the install user to some files and oracle tables. They are so many that we can't find them and modify them. If the install owner is root, and I use another user to start service, it will fail.
    So I must use a domain user to install this software.

    I'm still not understanding you. What software are you trying to install?

    Why does it have to be run as a user?

    where are you getting this domain stuff from?

    there are thousands of reasons why a program wouldn't be able to run as a non-root user, without more information, I can't help you.

    This software is a product my customer using only in his company.
    So I think you don't know the product although I tell you the name of the software.
    Because I will use one function of the product, it need a domain user to start the service of the software.
    I made the Linux join a windows2003 domain.So the I got the domain stuff.
