Check for Privilege Manager Licenses

You cannot add Privilege Manager licenses to the primary server by means of the mangement console. You must install the One Identity license files using the pmlicense command. (See the Privilege Manager for Unix Administrator's Guide for details.)

Note: You must have a Privilege Manager Policy Server configured in order to update licensing.

To refresh Privilege Manager license information in the console

  1. Log onto the mangement console using the supervisor account or an Active Directory account with rights to change System Settings; that is, an account in the Console Administration role.
  2. From the top-level Settings menu, navigate to System settings | Privilege Manager | Software and Licenses.
  3. Click Check for licenses.
  4. Click OK to save the System Settings and return to the mangement console.

Note: The mangement console automatically updates the license information each time you login.

Privilege Manager License Alerts

While the mangement console always allows you to add Unix hosts and manage local users and groups without a license, One Identity provides a free 30-day unlimited-use trial license that allows you to manage any number of hosts with Privilege Manager for Unix and Privilege Manager for Sudo. After the evaluation period expires, you will receive a "License" alert if you continue to use the Privilege Manager products after the expiration date, and a "Usage" alert if you exceed the number of hosts allowed. It may take up to 60 minutes for the primary policy server to update the license information. The console will report the correct information next time you log into the console, update licenses from System Settings, run the Product License Usage report, or when you configure a service account for a policy group.

License Alerts

When the policy server license expires, you will receive an alert on the console.

Usage Alerts

When you exceed the number of hosts allows by your current product license, you will receive an alert on the console.

After the free 30-day unlimited-use trial license expires:

  • Privilege Manager for Unix does not allow you to manage any Privilege Manager Agents without an alert.
  • Privilege Manager for Sudo allows you to manage up to 10 Sudo Plugin hosts without an alert.

Authentication Services System Settings

Use the Authentication ServicesSystem Settings to change the Authentication Services path to the Authentication Services software packages, validate the Authentication Services licenses, and configure the mangement console to use the Windows 2003 R2 schema.

The Authentication Services settings lists the Authentication Services product licenses found during the installation/configuration process.

Set Authentication Services Software Path

When you install from the product ISO, the setup wizard copies available software packages to a default location on the local computer.

The default directories are:

  • On Windows 32-bit platforms: %SystemDrive%:\Program Files (x86)\Quest Software\Management Console for Unix\software\qas\default
  • On Windows 64-bit platforms: %SystemDrive%:\Program Files\Quest Software\Management Console for Unix\software\qas\default
  • On Mac and Unix: /opt/quest/mcu/software/qpm/default

Note: If you install Management Console for Unix from the Authentication Services ISO, the "default" directory is replaced with the Authentication Services version number.

If you plan to install Authentication Services software onto your hosts from the console, you must ensure the path to the packages is correctly set in System Settings.

To ensure the path to the Authentication Services software packages is correctly set

  1. Make note of where your Authentication Services software packages are located.

  2. Log onto the mangement console using the supervisor account or an Active Directory account with rights to change System Settings; that is, an account in the Console Administration role. (See Console Roles and Permissions System Settings for details.)

  3. From the top-level Settings menu, navigate to System settings | Authentication Services.

  4. In the Path box, enter the path where the Authentication Services software packages are located on the server.

  5. Click OK to save your selection and close System Settings.
