Configuring License Server Settings

  1. Open the License Server home page.
  2. Choose Configuration > Settings and configure the settings.

The following settings are available:

Remove log files older than __ daysWhen enabled, specifies how many days (up to 365) that logs are stored before automatically being removed from the file system. When not enabled, logs are not automatically removed. This option is enabled by default.
Clients should start deactivatedEnabling this option forces connected Parasoft tools to start deactivated. See the Parasoft tool documentation settings for additional information. This option is enabled by default.
Grant license token to login username

When enabled and License Server is configured to require authentication, License Server will grant license tokens to the username used to log into License Server. When disabled, License Server grants license tokens to the OS username. In OIDC mode, the license token is always granted to the OIDC login username. This option is enabled by default.

Restrict access to automation licenses
When enabled, License Server will deny access to licenses with automation features unless those features are explicitly requested.  See Licenses with Automation Feature for more information. This option is enabled by default.
Delete contributing developers usage data older than one year
When enabled, contributing developer usage data sent from Parasoft C/C++test CT and Parasoft C/C++test Standard is automatically deleted after one year. This option is enabled by default.

Configuring License Server Session Timeout

By default, License Server sessions time out after 600 minutes of inactivity. You can change the timeout period to something that suits your needs. License Server and User Administration have their own settings.

To change the License Server session timeout:

  1. Open web.xml in the <LSS_INSTALL_DIR>/app/tomcat/webapps/licenseserver/WEB-INF directory or, if you installed License Server to use your own Tomcat installation, in the <TOMCAT_INSTALL_DIR>/webapps/licenseserver/WEB-INF directory.
  2. Find the <session-timeout> element and update the value, which is expressed in minutes.
  3. Save the file and restart LSS.

To change the User Administration session timeout:

  1. Open PSTRootConfig.xml in the <LSS_INSTALL_DIR>/data/conf directory or, if you installed License Server to use your own Tomcat installation, in the <TOMCAT_INSTALL_DIR>/webapps/pstsec/conf directory.
  2. Uncomment out the <session-timeout> element and update the value, which is expressed in minutes. If the <session-timeout> element is not present, add it and set the value. 
  3. Save the file and restart LSS.
