Floating license server restrict access


Chris Thompson (1121) | asked Mar 25 '10, 12:52 p.m.
In RQM 2.0 is there a way to stop someone from connecting to a floating license server that is setup on an RQM instance from another RQM instance? In other words I would like to restrict people from installing there own RQM server instance and be able to connect to a main floating license server within the same domain

Thanks,

Chris

Is what you would like to see a way for a license server to have to
"accept" an RQM server, similar to the way one Jazz server has to accept
another Jazz server as a "friend" (for C/ALM cross repository link support)?

Just for interest's sake, could you say a bit more about why you want to
prevent this? In the floating license server, you can specify what
users are allowed to use a floating license. So you can control who can
use a floating license. If you have given someone permission to use an
RQM floating license, why do you care what RQM server they are using?

Cheers,
Geoff

Actually, I need to correct my statement below. You cannot specify in
the license server what users are allowed to use a floating license ...
that is done in the Jazz Team Server. So I understand your request.
I've filed work item 110052 requesting this functionality:
https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/110052

Please feel free to review this work item and verify that I've captured
your requirement correctly.

Cheers,
Geoff
