Configuring Bootstrap Properties for a License Server
The license server monitors the consumption of the license resources and allocates licenses to client SAEs up to the number supported by the license. The license server obtains most of its information from the directory. A local configuration file, /opt/UMC/licsvr/etc/bootstrap.properties, stores bootstrapping information that cannot be stored in the directory, such as the attributes to connect to the directory. Use the information in this section to create and modify the configuration file.
Use the local configuration tool to configure the bootstrap.properties file. For information about using the local configuration tool, see Chapter 12, Configuring Local Properties.
To create the local configuration file and configure the properties for the license server:
- On the SAE host, log in as
rootor as an authorized nonroot admin user. - Start the local configuration tool from the license server installation directory.
/opt/UMC/licsvr/etc/config -l
The first time that you issue this command, it creates the bootstrap.properties file and displays the local configuration tool window for the properties.
- Using the field descriptions in the following sections, configure the bootstrap properties, and then click OK.
Configuring Directory Information
Use the Main tab to configure directory information.
Configuration Directory URL
- URL of the directory server that stores the license server configuration information.
- Value—ldap://<URL>
- Default—ldap://127.0.0.1:389
Backup Configuration Directory URLs
- URL of a backup directory server that stores the license server configuration information.
- Value—ldap://<URL>
- Default—List of directory URLs, with URLs separated by commas
Configuration Location
- Name of the directory that stores the license server bootstrap.properties file.
- Value—Text string in the format /<DIRECTORY_NAME>
where <DIRECTORY_NAME> is the name of directory where the license server bootstrap.properties file is stored
Directory Base DN
- Distinguished name (DN) of the root directory for the SAE.
- Value—DN of the root directory for the SAE
- Guidelines—You must set this attribute if you use a directory-naming scheme different from the default.
- Default—o=umc
Configuration Directory Authentication DN
- DN of the entry in the directory that authenticates the license server's directory bind.
- Value—DN of the entry used to authenticate the directory bind for the license server
- Default—cn=conf, o=operators, <base>
Configuration Directory Password
Connect Timeout
- Interval during which a connection must be made.
- Value—Number of seconds in the range 0-2147483647
- Default—10
Configuring Miscellaneous Properties
Use the Other tab to configure parameters for Java, the object request broker (ORB), and the SNMP agent.
Java Runtime Environment
ORB Port
- Port on which the application server ORB listens for requests
- Value—Any valid port number
- Default—9000
Enable Sysman Client
- Whether or not you can configure support for viewing license server information with the SNMP agent.
- Value
- Yes—If you are using the SNMP agent, enables the client.
- No—Disables client support. Select NO If you are not using the SNMP agent.
Sysman Agent IOR Directory
- Folder that contains the interoperable object reference (IOR) file for the license server. The license server writes its object references to this folder, and the SNMP agent discovers license server components by monitoring the license server IOR file in this folder.
- Value—Path to the folder that contains the IOR
- Guidelines—By default, the license server IOR file is in the var folder, which is relative to the SNMP agent installation folder (/opt/UMC/agent). You need to change this property only if you installed the SNMP agent in a folder other than the default folder, or if you previously changed this property and now need it to point to the folder where the IOR file currently resides.
- Default—/opt/UMC/agent/var
