By default, License Server (FLS) starts on default host and port:

0.0.0.0:8080

This is fine for testing internally, but running a production FLS server on this address is not secure. You should have a physical or virtual server with a dedicated IP address and preferably a resolvable domain name, and configure the host and port for running FLS accordingly.

  1. Change to the FLS installation directory.

  2. Stop FLS using the following command:

    ./bin/license-server.sh stop

  3. Specify the host and port as FLS configuration parameters. For example, to set the FLS host to license-server.domain.com and port to 8181, run the following command:

    ./bin/license-server.sh configure \
--listen license-server.domain.com \
--port 8181

  4. Start FLS using the following command:

    ./bin/license-server.sh start

Custom context path

If the machine where FLS is running also runs other web applications, you can specify a custom context path for FLS.

  1. Change to the FLS installation directory.

  2. Stop FLS using the following command:

    ./bin/license-server.sh stop

  3. Set the value of the --context parameter to the necessary context path relative to the root context.

    For example, to set the context path to /licenseServer, run the following command:

    ./bin/license-server.sh configure \
--context /licenseServer

  4. Start FLS using the following command:

    ./bin/license-server.sh start
