Creating reservation groups

Create reservation groups to manage user access to product access management enabled applications.

Procedure

  1. Copy the contents of the \Product Access Management\Utils directory in the i2® application downloaded distribution to the %ProgramFiles%\SafeNet Sentinel\Administration Tools directory on the server.
  2. In the Administration Tools directory, double-click WlmAdmin.exe. In WlmAdmin, click Edit > Reservation File.
    The WlsGrMgr application opens.
  3. In WlsGrMgr, click File > New.
    Note: To edit an existing reservation list, click File > Open, browse to the location of the list, select the file, and click Open.
  4. Click Feature > Add.
    The Add License Reservation Wizard opens.
  5. Click Next. In the Feature Name field, enter the appropriate name. In the Feature Version field, enter 1 then click Next.
    For example, enter i2.ANB.main in the Feature Name field.
  6. In the Group Name field, enter a name for the reservation group. To select the number of permits to reserve, click the arrows in the Tokens field, then click Next.
  7. Add members to the reservation group:
    1. Click Add, then enter the name of the member in the Name of the Member field.
      • For a user, enter their Windows™ user name.
      • For a client computer, enter the computer name or IP address.
    2. Specify whether the member is a user or a computer, click User or Machine.
    3. Specify whether the member is allowed or denied permits for the application, click Included or Excluded.
    4. Click OK.
  8. Click Finish.
    The feature and reservation group are displayed in the relevant pane of the main Wlsgrmgr window.
  9. Click Save.
    If a new reservation file is created, it is saved to the My Documents\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel RMS Development Kit\Tools directory with a file name of lsreserv.
  10. To activate the reservation groups, copy the reservation file to the same directory as lservnt.exe, then restart the Sentinel RMS License Manager service. The default directory for lservnt.exe is %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel RMS License Manager\WinNT. Alternatively, if the LSRESERV environment variable defines a path and file name for the reservation file, rename the reservation file and save it in the appropriate directory.
