I have just launched an AWS instance based on dataiku official images: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B017MTTNFO
I need to connect to a mysql db, but the driver is missing. According to https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/installation/jdbc.html, I need to stop dataiku, place the jar file in the DATA_DIR/lib/jdbc and then restart dataiku.
Dataiku is run, I think, by the dataiku user, but I can not find the dataiku user password and when I try to stop it using root, it does not allow me to do so.
How can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Use the sudo command to switch to dataiku user.
sudo su - dataiku

If you are root and want to perform operations on DSS, you can simply impersonate the dataiku user using the su command (documentation):
# whoami
root
# su - dataiku
$ whoami
dataikuYou can then stop dss, download the mysql driver, etc.
