If the Charon host system does not have a graphical user interface, it can be useful to modify the Sentinel ACC configuration via the configuration file, for example to allow remote access. The following table lists some of the more frequently used parameters in the hasplm.ini file that are normally set via the ACC web interface. The location of the file is shown on the bottom of the ACC configuration windows. The default location on Linux is /etc/hasplm. The default location on Windows is C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Aladdin Shared\HASP.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
ACCremote = allow remote access to ACC | When set to
|
accessfromremote = allow access from remote clients | If set to 1, remote systems can access this Sentinel License Manager. This is needed if the system acts as a license server for clients on the network. |
accesstoremote = allow access to remote licenses | If set to 1, this system will search for remote Sentinel License Managers on the network. Needed, if the system is to use a license served by a license manager on the network. Please note that not all products respect this setting for broadcast search. |
broadcastsearch = broadcast search for remote licenses | If set to 1, this system will search for remote Sentinel License Managers on the local network via broadcasts. Note that the broadcast uses a random UDP port from 30000 to 65535. Any firewall between the client and the server must be configured to allow these ports in addition to the TCP port 1947. If this is disabled, the addresses of systems to search must be defined in the search parameter field. Please note that not all products respect this setting. |
serveraddr = remote license search parameters | Defines the specific systems that will be searched by this system in order to detect remote Sentinel License Managers and licenses served by them. Systems are specified by their IP addresses (for example, 10.1.1.17), by the broadcast addresses of an address range (for example, 10.1.1.255), or by the system name (for example, system1.example.com). When using the IPv6 protocol, use the IPv6 address format. For example, type FF02::1 to access all remote Sentinel License Managers that are part of the default local group defined in the IPv6 subnet. |
To enable remote access, general ACC access to the network must be enabled. For this, make sure the parameter Please note: by default the hasplm.ini file does not exist. It is created by Sentinel ACC when the first configuration change is performed via the web GUI. Should it be necessary to create this file manually, the following example shows the structure of the file.
