Managing Administrative Security on a Local License Server or CLS Instance
FlexNet Embedded provides an administrative security facility on the license server to prevent unauthorized queries and operations on the server. When this security is enabled on your license server, anyone attempting to administer the license server will need to provide a set of authorization credentials before starting administrative operations.
The default license-server administrator account in place when you start the server gives you access to the same full range of administrative functionality that you would have without security enabled, with additional privileges to create and manage other enterprise user accounts. The accounts you create generally have limited administrative privileges, although you can create other license-server administrator accounts.
The administrative security feature is available on both a CLS instance and the local license server.
Note:A default producer account is also created when you start up the license server. This account is used to supply or delete checkout filters (these are selective license filters customizable by the producer), and change configuration values not editable by the default administrator account (for example, lfs.syncTo.enabled).
The following sections provide an overview of managing administrative security on the license server:
