  • Configure whether your instance should be handled like a production or non-production instance.

    If the glide.installation.production system property is not set to the recommended value of true, then the instance is not treated as a production instance, permitting zboot and other potentially dangerous scripts.

    Ensure that the property glide.installation.production is set to true on a production instance.
