RULES Client Configuration

RULES clients automatically determine the RULES server port number by using the same calculation as the RULES server, using the configured RMS server port number plus 1.

For example, if a client is configured with a server setting of 123@myServer, then the RULES client attempts to communicate with a RULES server on port 124 on the server called myServer. If the ALS client is already configured to the RMS server port then there is no need to change the client settings.

Example: In the ALS client configuration tool, the administrator must mention the RMS server port (by default 4545) and license server name, that is 4545@servername. The RULES client then automatically communicates with the RULES server on port 4546.
