Setup RLM login

Starting with RLM V15.1, default log in credentials are created.

Important: You must change the default password after logging in using the default credentials (username: admin and password: admin), otherwise the license server will automatically shut down in 10 minutes.

To change the default password:

  1. Go to the RLM web UI (localhost:5054).
  2. Log in with the default credentials.
  3. Click the Change Password button in the left-side menu and create a new password.
  4. Restart the computer or restart the RLM service from OS Services.
Note: When upgrading from the old versions of RLM (14 and earlier), the old password file (rlm.pw) is no longer valid. To fix this, you must delete the old rlm.pw file and create a new one.

Edit the password file and add users

The RLM password file (rlm.pw) is located in the Bricsys Network License Server folder (for Windows, C:\Program Files\Bricsys\Bricsys Network License Server).

The rlm.pw has one line for the admin:

admin:password:all

To allow multiple users to log in to the RLM web interface, one line for each user can be added as follows:

username::list-of-permissions
Note: New users can log in to RLM web UI (localhost:5054) without a password and must create one from the Change Password button in the left-side menu. After they have changed the password, restart the computer server or restart the RLM service from OS Services.

The list-of-permissions field is a comma-separated list of the various privileges which you can assign to users:

  • all it is a special privilege name. It enables all privileges.
  • edit_meter modifies count for meter counters.
  • edit_options edits options files for ISV servers.
  • edit_rlm_options edits license files and options files for the rlm server.
  • edit_xfer edits server-server license transfer settings for ISV servers.
  • extend_roam allows you to extend roam duration for already-roaming licenses.
  • logfiles enables the functions that change log files - switch, switchr, newlog.
  • remove allows you to remove a license from a running process.
  • reread gives you access to the functions that do reread commands on license servers.
  • shutdown gives you access to the functions which shut down license servers.
  • status allows you to display the status and debug log information from the license servers.
