    You need to use the following:

    root # hauser -add nobody -priv Administrator

    (Provide the password here)

    Now enter into nobody's account:


    root # su - nobody

    Execute the following so that ha commands will not require a password for this user shell.
    nobody $ halogin nobody <password>

    nobody $ hares -state

    Now all "ha" commands should work fine through "nobody" account without requiring password.

    Hope that helps.
