An alternate TCP/IP port for a Unix License Server

Troubleshooting


Problem

This technote shows how you can configure an alternate TCP/IP port on a UNIX® IBM® Rational® License Server. The client can be running either Microsoft® Windows® or UNIX.

Resolving The Problem

TCP/IP port 27000 for communication between client and server might not an option. A possible reason is that another application is using the 27000 port. In this case you can configure the client and lmgrd to communicate on an alternate TCP/IP port.

You can specify an alternate port on the client. In Windows use the License Key Administrator, in UNIX the rs_install script.

On the server, you specify an alternate TCP/IP port in the SERVER line in the license file. The following line shows an example of a SERVER line with 35500 as an alternate TCP/IP port


SERVER <SERVERNAME>  12345677  35500


Now the first transaction between the client application and lmgrd runs through port 35550 rather than port 27000.
