Getting WRQ Licenses at D0
WRQ is a Kerberos compatible X-windows client. It can serve as a
replacement
for Exceed.
If you work for a lab or want it quickly....
To get a single user license for NT machines through Fermilab
-
Sent email to d0-nt_admin
with the following text:
-
FERMIID -
-
Phone
-
Email
-
NT system
-
User name
-
Budget code ($230) (Non-FNAL) or permission of FNAL
supervisor
-
You will be added to the WRQ License Holders User Group
-
You can then access the code at:
\\d0server4\apps\wrq
Academic Licenses <-- cheaper but do-it-yourself
Send an email to sales@wrq.com
They have two products
-
Reflections X which is ~ $108 each for 10 seats but requires that you download
the kerberos manager yourself.
-
Reflections Suite which is more like $150 each for 10 seats and is equivalent
to the version FNAL purchases
-
Support is extra.
-
Single licenses cost over $300 so the FNAL option is better for small users.
-
-
Exceed instead
Exceed 7 can be made to work as well but it is harder to install and support
- if you are brave and
already have Exceed 7, check out http://www-d0.fnal.gov/computing/systems/exceed7.txt
Installation
-
Set aside about an hour - network installs can be slowww...
we strongly suggest printing the instructions as it is impossible
to both read a
screen and do installations. But it is accurate and to say the
least, complete...
-
Once you are done, you will be able to set up x windows client sessions
similar to those you did with Exceed
-
There is also a kerberized FTP
Comments 1) In 5.2.3 \\d0server4\apps\wrw instead of \\Pckits ...
Comments 2) On Win98 you don't need to do the 'administrator' stuff
in 5.2.2 and 5.2.14
Comments 3) I was able to get my generic myterm script to pop
an xwindow by putting (myterm --display %IP#% &)
when using the connection manager to make a kerberized telnet connection
to onsite D0 machines.
FAQ 1) make certain you have entered time/time zone correctly.
