Installing the PCoIP License Server¶

To get up and running quickly with the PCoIP License Server in an online (internet-connected) environment, follow these instructions.

To install the PCoIP License Server:

1. SSH into your License Server machine.

2. Install wget:

   sudo yum install wget
   

3. Configure the Teradici yum repository:

   sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/pcoip.repo https://downloads.teradici.com/rhel/pcoip.repo
   

4. Install the license server:

   sudo yum install -y pcoip-license-server
   

5. Set your PCoIP License Server administrative password with pcoip-set-password.

   Note: Default password

   The default password in new installations is 1P@ssw0rd!, where the leading 1 is a numeral one and 0 is a zero. When setting the password on a clean installation, use this as your curent password.

   Change the default password immediately

   Until the default password is changed, commands can be issued to the license server without your knowledge.

   Info: Password Rules

   Passwords must conform to the following rules:

   • Must be between 8 and 30 characters long
   • Must contain at least one lowercase letter
   • Must contain at least one uppercase letter
   • Must contain at least one digit
   • Must contain at least one symbol, excluding ' (single quote), " (double quote), \ (backslash), and spaces.

   • If you do not supply any flags, you will be prompted for your current and new passwords:

     sudo pcoip-set-password
     

   • You can also supply the current and new password inline, by using -p and -n flags:

     sudo pcoip-set-password -p <current password> -n <new password>
     

6. Configure your firewalls:

   • Configure your corporate firewall to block all incoming external connections. The PCoIP License Server does not need to accept incoming connections from the outside internet.

   • On the PCoIP License Server machine, first block all incoming TCP connections, then allow incoming connections only on these specific ports:

     • Allow PCoIP agent subnets to connect on port 7070 (PCoIP agents use Port 7070 to check out licenses from the PCoIP License Server.)
     • If using SSH to administer the server, allow your administrative subnet to connect on port 22.

   • Open port 443 to outgoing connections. If you are using a proxy server, this requirement may be different; review your proxy server configuration.

7. If you block outgoing connections over the internet, you will need to whitelist our licensing service addresses.
