OK, now I see the problem. This depends on the sunstone-server running 
as the oneadmin user with the HOME environment variable being set 
properly by the shell.

I think this is not correct, The code should parse /etc/password for the 
oneadmin account and then extract the home directory from there. 
Concatenate the extracted home directory with .one/one_auth

At least this additional implementation should be an additional fall back.

Yes, definitely helped to understand why I was getting the error. It 
might be useful to also document, and maybe it is and I missed it, that 
sunstone-server needs to run as oneadmin user and not as root or other.

Thanks,
Robert
