Chapter 14. License and serial number servers 147

– If the local client UIM database contains a valid serial number that does not conflict

with another client’s serial number (as stored in the UIM server database) that serial

number is used.

• If the client serial number (in the client UIM database) conflicts with a serial number

in the UIM server database, the client operation fails. In this case, the client system

may use the uimreset -l command to remove the serial number in the local UIM

database.

򐂰 If the client changes to a local configuration after previously using a remote configuration

the previously assigned serial number (from the remote server and stored in the local UIM

database) is used. The local token serial number is ignored.

14.2 Installation and configuration

All client and server functions (for both license server and UIM server) are included and

installed in the zPDT installation package. Whether or not the remote functions (license

server and/or UIM server) are used depends on configuration file options.

14.2.1 Client configuration

Client operation is determined by settings in file /usr/z1090/bin/sntlconfig.xml. We

reference this file as the XML file. The general syntax is as follows:

<ContactServer>localhost</ContactServer>

<Protocol>SP_TCP_PROTOCOL</Protocol>

</SentinelKeys>

</UniqueIdentificationManager>

</SentinelConfiguration>

Do not modify this file directly. Instead, use the clientconfig command to make changes.

produces a display similar to the following:

License ContactServer.....localhost (default localhost)

License PortNumber .......9450 (default 9450)

License IPv6 _ (y or blank)

UIM ContactServer.........__________________ (default is blank)

UIM PortNumber ...........____ (Defaults to 9451, if used )

UIM IPv6.................._ (y or blank))

UIM Local Serial Random..._ (y or blank)

Factory Reset............._ (Enter “y” to reset file)

The actual XML file may have different spacing and more comments than shown here. This does not affect its

meaning.

You must operate as root to modify the file or to use the clientconfig command.
