• accurev.lic (the AccuRev license file)
• acserver.cnf (the AccuRev server configuration file)
• accurev.opt (the ISV options file)The AccuRev license file, accurev.lic, is a simple text file that you receive from AccuRev when you purchase your licenses. This file is typically located in the \storage\site_slice directory where you installed AccuRev. For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\AccuRev\storage\site_slice\accurev.lic.The first line of the accurev.lic file specifies the port that the RLM server is listening on. For example:Its default value is 2375. You can change this port if necessary. See Changing the RLM Listener Port Value on page 124 for more information.For additional information about where to place the accurev.lic file and any edits that you may need to make to it, see the AccuRev Installation and Release Notes and the instructions that you receive with the license file.The acserver.cnf file is a configuration file that is generated during installation. It is typically located in the bin directory where you installed AccuRev. For example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\AccuRev\bin\acserver.cnf.Note: The acserver.cnf LICENSE_PORT for RLM differs from the existing AccuRev PORT value (default value 5050), which clients use to connect to the AccuRev host.RLM provides the ability to define an “ISV options” file that allows you to adjust certain parameters, such as extending the idle time allowed before a license gets checked back in, or maintaining a list of users who are prevented from obtaining a license. By default, AccuRev installs an ISV options files named accurev.opt in the same folder as the license manager executable (rlm.exe), typically
<ac-install>/rlm (where <ac-install> is your AccuRev installation directory). This file has a time-out setting line “TIMEOUT 120”, to enable automatic idle license check-in.For example, if a principal developer with the user name “jsmith” is working on an important project and requires special access to a dedicated license, if you are an administrator you can specify a RESERVE line in the accurev.opt file such as:For more information about ISV files, see the RLM documentation referenced in Additional RLM Documentation on page 127.If you need to change the value of the port on which the RLM server is listening, you must change the value in both the HOST line in the accurev.lic file and the LICENSE_PORT line in the acserver.cnf file as described here:
1. Change the value at the end of the HOST line in the accurev.lic file (the value that follows ANY).
2. Change the LICENSE_PORT in the acserver.cnf file to the same value.
3. Stop the AccuRev Server. See Stopping and Starting the AccuRev and RLM Servers on page 128 if you need help with this step.
4. Stop and restart the RLM Server. See Stopping and Starting the AccuRev and RLM Servers on page 128 if you need help with this step.
5. Restart the AccuRev Server. See Stopping and Starting the AccuRev and RLM Servers on page 128 if you need help with this step.http://<license_server_machine>:5054If you are logged into the license server machine, you can use localhost instead of the server name.Tip: The RLM Web Interface works best with Microsoft Internet Explorer. Not all features of the RLM Web Interface, notably, setting the username/password, are supported in other web browsers.See the RLM License Administration Manual for more information on features of the RLM Web Interface. (See Additional RLM Documentation on page 127.)Note: AccuRev recommends that you change the default username/password authentication credentials and carefully consider granting access to others.
2. Select the Change Password menu item, and enter a new password.
3. When you save your changes, the password is encrypted and written to the rlm.pw password file located in the rlm directory where you installed AccuRev.Note: Do not enter or change the RLM password directly in the rlm.pw password file.If you wish, you can suppress authentication by removing (or renaming) the rlm.pw password file from the rlm directory where you installed AccuRev. If this file is not present in the rlm directory when a user attempts to access the RLM Web Interface, no authentication is required.The rlm.pw password file can also be used to grant and restrict access to the RLM server. See Specifying RLM Privileges on page 125 for more information.Note: AccuRev recommends that you retain RLM Web Interface authentication.In addition to controlling access to RLM using authentication, you can also specify privileges for each user to whom you grant access using the rlm.pw file. Privileges are summarized in the following table. See Additional RLM Documentation on page 127.
Table 1. Summary of RLM User Privileges Each line in the rlm.pw file corresponds to one user and has the following format:In this example, Tom has a password (it is encrypted when it is created) and his privileges are set to all. Harry has no password; his privileges are edit_options, edit_rlm_options, and reread.
1. Note: Do not enter or change the RLM password directly in the rlm.pw password file.Note: A user with no privileges assigned will have access to the following menu items in the RLM Web Interface: "Activate License", "Diagnostics", "RLM Manual...", "System Info", "About", "Change Password", and "Logout".
