6.38 Installing RLM Server

Access to a Reprise License Manager (RLM) server is required when using Viewpoint's Remote Visualization Feature or Nitro.

As the RLM Server can run multiple licenses, it is recommended that you install one RLM Server for your configuration. If your company already uses an RLM Server, you do not need to install a new one for Adaptive Computing products. However, Adaptive Computing strongly recommends that your RLM Server is version 12.1.2 and the Adaptive Computing products may use a different port than the default RLM Server port (5053).

This topic contains instructions on how to install an RLM Server.

In this topic:

• 6.38.1 Open Necessary Ports
• 6.38.2 Install the RLM Server
• 6.38.3 Change the Default Passwords

6.38.1 Open Necessary Ports

If your site is running firewall software on its hosts, you will need to configure the firewall to allow connections to the necessary ports.

On the RLM Server do the following:

1. Open the RLM Server port (5053) and the RLM Web Interface port (5054).

   [root]# iptables-save > /tmp/iptables.mod
   [root]# vi /tmp/iptables.mod
   
   # Add the following lines immediately *before* the line matching
   # "-A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited"
   
   -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5053:5054 -j ACCEPT
   
   [root]# iptables-restore < /tmp/iptables.mod
   [root]# service iptables save

   [root]# firewall-cmd --add-port=5053-5054/tcp --permanent
   [root]# firewall-cmd --reload

   [root]# vi /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2
   
   FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="5053 5054"
   
   [root]# service SuSEfirewall2 restart

2. If Remote Visualization is part of your configuration, open the Remote Visualization port (57889).

   [root]# iptables-save > /tmp/iptables.mod
   [root]# vi /tmp/iptables.mod
   
   # Add the following lines immediately *before* the line matching
   # "-A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited"
   
   -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 57889 -j ACCEPT
   
   [root]# iptables-restore < /tmp/iptables.mod
   [root]# service iptables save

   [root]# firewall-cmd --add-port=57889/tcp --permanent
   [root]# firewall-cmd --reload

   [root]# vi /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2
   
   FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="57889"
   
   [root]# service SuSEfirewall2 restart

3. If Nitro is part of your configuration, open the ISV adapativeco port for the Adaptive license-enabled products (for example: 5135).

   [root]# iptables-save > /tmp/iptables.mod
   [root]# vi /tmp/iptables.mod
   
   # Add the following lines immediately *before* the line matching
   # "-A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited"
   
   -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5135 -j ACCEPT
   
   [root]# iptables-restore < /tmp/iptables.mod
   [root]# service iptables save

   [root]# firewall-cmd --add-port=5135/tcp --permanent
   [root]# firewall-cmd --reload

   [root]# vi /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2
   
   FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="5135"
   
   [root]# service SuSEfirewall2 restart

6.38.2 Install the RLM Server

On the host on where the RLM Server will reside, do the following:

1. If you are installing RLM Server on its own host or on a host that does not have another RPM installation, complete the steps to prepare the host. See 6.31 Preparing the Host – Typical Method or 6.30 Preparing the Host – Offline Method.
2. If your configuration uses firewalls, you must also open the necessary ports before installing the RLM Server. See 6.38.1 Open Necessary Ports.
3. Install the RPM.

   [root]# yum install ac-rlm

   [root]# zypper install ac-rlm

6.38.3 Change the Default Passwords

The RLM Web interface includes two usernames (admin and user) by default. These usernames have the default password "changeme!".

Do the following for both the user and the admin usernames:

1. Using a web browser, navigate to your RLM instance. (http://<RLM_host>:5054; where <RLM_host> is the IP address or name of the RLM Server Host).
   

   If you have problems connecting using the web browser, on the RLM server check /opt/rlm/rlm.dll for error information.

2. Log in.
3. Select Change Password and change the password according to your password security process.
