WkLAN Network Server |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
GeneralThe WibuKey network server enables the access to WibuBoxes over the network. This allows copy protection of an application as well as limitation of the number of users that access the application at the same time. Such a WibuKey network server can run on any computer in the network, it is not necessary to run it on a primary network server, like your mail or file server. WibuKey offers two different methods to protect an application in the network with the WkNet and WkLAN. network subsystems. On Linux and Mac OS X only the WkLAN protocol is supported. WkLAN is protocol based, data is transferred synchronously between server and clients. WkLAN is based on TCP/IP. The current implementation runs on Mac OS&unbsp;X, Linux and Microsoft Windows™. Depending on the operating system the WibuKey WkLAN network server is called:
Please note that only one instance of the WibuKey network server can be running at the same time on one system.
WibuKey WebMonitorThe WibuKey WebMonitor provides information about the running WibuKey network server. The WibuKey WebMonitor is only available if the WibuKey network server is running. The number of users currently accessing a WibuKey server, at what time they logged on and at what time they did the last access can be viewed from any network station. You can cancel users retrieve internal status information of the network server process and the driver that handles the WibuBox access.
ConfigurationAll configuration for the WibuKey network server is stored in the Server.ini configuration file. The location of the configuration file is on Mac OS X /Library/Preferences/com.wibu.WIBU-KEY.Server.ini and on linux it is stored at /etc/wibu/WIBU-KEY/WIBUKEY.INI. Most settings can also be changed by using the prefered application WkConfig.
The configuration options for the WibuKey network server are divided into five sections:
Settings SectionThe basic configuration settings of the WibuKey network server are stored in the [Server] section of the Server.ini file. The following values can be specified:
WkLAN SectionThe WkLAN configuration settings of the WibuKey network server are stored in the [WkLAN] section of the Server.ini file. Following values can be specified:
RemoteAccess SectionAccess rights to control the access to the WibuKey server can be specified in the [RemoteAccess] section. The corresponding entries are "ip_address = Permission" where 'Permission' can be:
Combinations are possible, e.g. 7 = 'Read content and Allocate license' is permitted, 'Delete user' is denied. The entry "Default"=31 specifies the rights of users which aren't explicitly declared. These rights can be restricted, too. Due to compability reasons all these actions are permitted by default. HlmFiles SectionHLM control files are specified in the Server.ini configuration file in the [HlmFiles] section. Each variable in this section has the following form (and is a argument for a path of the HLM Control File): FileN=hlm_file Note, the N behind the File is a number from 1 to 9. The HLM setting is interpreted only when the WibuKey Server is started. If the HLM settings are changed, the server process must be stopped and restarted to read the new settings. HTTP SectionThe HTTP configuration settings of the WibuKey network server are stored in the [HTTP] section of the Server.ini file. Following values can be specified:
