During installation, you provide the host name and TCP/IP port
of the Rational® license
server. Obtain this information from your license administrator.
To configure a server-based license:
- In the Installation Manager installer on the License Server
Configuration page, click License Server.
- Accept the default user root, or specify a
different UNIX or Linux user to run Build Forge. If you do specify
a different user, you must start Build Forge® as root. Build
Forge will start the engine and Apache Tomcat as the specified
user during the installation step. You must have read and executed
permissions for the database libraries and the JDBC jar files specified
in the Database Configuration page in Installation Manager.
- Enter a valid host name for the Rational license
server in the License Server field.
Note: If
you provide a host name, the information is automatically added to
the Build Forge system
settings. If you do not know the host name, enter any character or
value in this field and update Build
Forge system settings in the user interface after the completion
of the installation.
- Enter the TCP/IP port for the license server in thePort field.
The default port is 27000.
- Click Next to continue with the installation.
