Setting Up QueueMetrics for use with the Keyring

In order for a QueueMetrics instance to be controlled by the Keyring, you should install it as you normally do:

wget https://yum.loway.ch/loway.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/loway.repo
yum install queuemetrics

and follow the standard installation procedure.

When the QM instance is active, you should log in to it as an administrator and perform the steps described below.

Activating the 'keyupdater' profile

The keyupdater user (the one used for scriptable remote key updates) ships with QueueMetrics but is disabled by default, as a security measure.

  • Go to 'Edit users and classes', look at the keyupdater user and edit it.

  • Set it as Enabled: yes and change its default password

Turning off the key expiration message

When the expiration date of a QueueMetrics license is very close, QueueMetrics will display a warning message. As Keyring licenses are usually quite short (a few days or one month), your users will otherwise often see this message.

In order to turn it off, set:

default.noLicenseWarning=true

within the configuration.properties file of each QueueMetrics instance.
