Configuring the License Manager for an SAE on a Solaris Platform
The license manager for an SAE maintains the licenses for the SAE and communicates with the license server to manage licenses needed by the SAE. The SAE license manager properties specify SAE client properties and access to the directory in which SRC license data is stored. The SAE license manager reads the server license to identify the license server to which it connects.
To use SDX Configuration Editor to configure SAE properties for the license manager:
- Select a directory configuration object for the SAE.
- Select the License Manager tab.
- Configure the properties for License Manager by using the fields in Directory Access Fields and Client Fields.
Directory Access Fields
The directory access configuration defines the connection from the SAE to the directory in which SRC license data is stored and directory eventing parameters for the data.
