When installing product using a UserId that is defined in the ESadminID option :

 ./setup_cobol_server_7.0_redhat_x86_64 -installlocation="/app/microfocus/VisualCOBOL" -ESadminID="mfcobol"

and the UserID is only known in Centrify (not a user know to the UNIX machine), the installation fails with :
 

Micro Focus Product - Product Extractor
www.microfocus.com

Please Wait.
Performing Product and Platform Checks...

ESadminID value given to installer is not a valid user id on this
machine.
Value of ESadminID set to mfcobol

Please re-run installer with command line argument -ESadminID and pass
in user id for Enterprise Server System Administrator.

./setup_cobol_server_7.0_redhat_x86_64 -ESadminID=[ User ID ]

Note: It is recommended that the Super User ID "root" is not used for
the -ESadminID value.
