id: illegal option -- n When Configuring OHS to Listen on Privileged Port in 12c (Doc ID 1609908.1)

Goal

The documentation for 12.1.2 OHS explaining how to have OHS run on priviliged ports (lower than 1024), lists this command to execute to create the .cab file:

echo `id -ng`: bind > /tmp/cap.ora

However, on Solaris the results of running this command can be as follows:

$ echo `id -ng`: bind > /tmp/cap.ora
id: illegal option -- n

What are the correct steps for Solaris to run OHS on privileged ports (443 and 80), if this error occurs?
