Pre-Deployed Linux OS setup

BT Call Server supports the following Linux OS distributions:

•Rocky Linux v10.x

•Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) v10.x

 

When creating or deploying the OS (e.g in your cloud provider), ensure the admin user “iptadmin” is created.

The user account "iptadmin" is required.
The scripted install will fail if this exact user does not exist.

If the OS was deployed with a different user, follow the steps below to create the “iptadmin” user with sudo (admin) rights.

The following commands require sudo privileges.
Ensure the user running these commands has sudo access, or run them as the root user.

Create the “iptadmin” user in the OS CLI

 

sudo adduser iptadmin

sudo passwd iptadmin

 

Set a secure password when prompted.

 

Add “iptadmin” to the “wheel” group

 

The wheel group on RHEL and Rocky Linux is pre-configured to grant sudo access.

 

sudo usermod -aG wheel iptadmin

 

 

Confirm group membership

 

id iptadmin

 

The output should look similar to:

 

uid=1001(iptadmin) gid=1001(iptadmin) groups=1001(iptadmin),10(wheel)

 

 

The OS is now staged and ready for the BT Call Server Scripted Install
