VLMCSD.INI(5) KMS Activation Manual VLMCSD.INI(5)
NAME
vlmcsd.ini - vlmcsd KMS emulator configuration file
SYNOPSIS
vlmcsd.ini
DESCRIPTION
vlmcsd.ini (or simply called the "ini file") is a configuration file
for vlmcsd(8). By default vlmcsd does not use a configuration file. It
is completely optional and for advanced users only. You must use the -i
option on the vlmcsd command line to use an ini file. There is no
default name or default location for the ini file.
Everything, that can be configured in the ini file, may also be speci
fied on the command line. Any configuration option specified on the
command line takes precedence over the respective configuration line in
the ini file.
Benefits of a configuration file
While you can use the configuration file to simply modify the default
behavior of vlmcsd, it can also be used to change the configuration of
vlmcsd after you sent a HUP signal(7). Whenever you send SIGHUP, the
configuration file will be re-read. Any changes you made to the ini
file will be reflected after vlmcsd received the hangup signal.
Differences between command line and configuration file
If you specify an illegal option or option argument on the command
line, vlmcsd displays help and exits. If you specify an incorrect key
word or argument in the ini file, vlmcsd displays a warning with some
information, ignores the respective line and continues. This is inten
tional and prevents vlmcsd from aborting after a SIGHUP if the configu
ration was modified incorrectly.
SYNTAX
vlmcsd.ini is a UTF-8 encoded text file with each line being in the
format keyword = argument. The keyword is not case-sensitive. The argu
ment is treated literally. It is neither required nor allowed to
enclose the argument in any form of quote characters except when quote
characters are part of the argument itself. Whitespace characters are
ignored only
- at the beginning of a line
- between the keyword and '='
- between '=' and the argument
Lines, that start with '#' or ';' are treated as comments. Empty lines
are ignored as well. If a keyword is repeated in another line, vlmcsd
will use the argument of the last occurence of the keyword. An excep
tion to this is the Listen keyword which can be specified multiple
times and causes vlmcsd to listen on more than one IP address and/or
port.
Some arguments are binary arguments that need to be either TRUE or
FALSE. You can use "Yes", "On" or "1" as an alias for TRUE and "No",
"Off" or "0" as an alias for FALSE. Binary arguments are case-insensi
tive.
KEYWORDS
The following keywords are defined:
Listen This defines on what combinations of IP addresses and ports vlm
csd should listen. Listen can be specified more than once. The
argument has the form ipaddress[:port]. If you omit the port,
the default port of 1688 is used. If the ipaddress contains
colons and a port is used, you must enclose the ipaddress in
brackets. The default is to listen to 0.0.0.0:1688 and [::]:1688
which means listen to all IPv4 and all IPv6 addresses. See the
-L option in vlmcsd(8) for more info about the syntax. If you
use -L, -P, -4 or -6 on the command line, all Listen keywords in
the ini file will be ignored. The Listen keyword cannot be used
on Windows and Cygwin if vlmcsd has been compiled to use Micro
soft RPC.
Examples:
Listen = 192.168.1.123:1688
Listen = 0.0.0.0:1234
Listen = [fe80::1721:12ff:fe81:d36b%eth0]:1688
Port Can only be used on Windows and Cygwin if vlmcsd has been com
piled to use Microsoft RPC. Causes vlmcsd to listen on that port
instead of 1688. On all non-Windows operating systems or if vlm
csd has been compiled to use its own RPC implementation, you
must use Listen instead.
UseNDR64
Can be TRUE or FALSE. Specifies whether you want to use the
NDR64 transfer syntax. See options -n0 and -n1 in vlmcsd(8). The
default is TRUE.
UseBTFN
Can be TRUE or FALSE. Specifies whether you want to use bind
time feature negotiation in RPC. See options -b0 and -b1 in vlm
csd(8). The default is TRUE.
RandomizationLevel
The argument must 0, 1 or 2. This specifies the ePID randomiza
tion level. See options -r0, -r1 and -r2 in vlmcsd(8). The
default randomization level is 1.
LCID Use a specific culture id (LCID) even if the ePID is randomized.
The argument must be a number between 1 and 32767. While any
number in that range is valid, you should use an offcial LCID. A
list of assigned LCIDs can be found at http://msdn.micro
soft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964664.aspx. On the command line you
control this setting with option -C.
MaxWorkers
The argument specifies the maximum number of worker processes or
threads that will be used to serve activation requests concur
rently. This is the same as specifying -m on the command line.
Minimum is 1. The maximum is platform specific and is at least
32767 but is likely to be greater on most systems. The default
is no limit.
ConnectionTimeout
Used to control when the vlmcsd disconnects idle TPC connec
tions. The default is 30 seconds. This is the same setting as -t
on the command line.
DisconnectClientsImmediately
Set this to TRUE to disconnect a client after it got an activa
tion response regardless whether a timeout has occured or not.
The default is FALSE. Setting this to TRUE is non-standard
behavior. Use only if you are experiencing DoS or DDoS attacks.
On the command line you control this behavior with options -d
and -k.
PidFile
Write a pid file. The argument is the full pathname of a pid
file. The pid file contains is single line containing the
process id of the vlmcsd process. It can be used to stop
(SIGTERM) or restart (SIGHUP) vlmcsd. This directive can be
overriden using -p on the command line.
LogFile
Write a log file. The argument is the full pathname of a log
file. On a unixoid OS and with Cygwin you can use the special
filename 'syslog' to log to the syslog facility. This is the
same as specifying -l on the command line.
LogVerbose
Set this to either TRUE or FALSE. The default is FALSE. If set
to TRUE, more details of each activation will be logged. You use
-v and -q in the command line to control this setting. LogVer
bose has an effect only if you specify a log file or redirect
logging to stdout(3).
ActivationInterval
This is the same as specifying -A on the command line. See vlm
csd(8) for details. The default is 2 hours. Example: Activation
Interval = 1h
RenewalInterval
This is the same as specifying -R on the command line. See vlm
csd(8) for details. The default is 7 days. Example: Activation
Interval = 3h. Please note that the KMS client decides itself
when to renew activation. Even though vlmcsd sends the renewal
interval you specify, it is no more than some kind of recommen
dation to the client. Older KMS clients did follow the recommen
dation from a KMS server or emulator. Newer clients do not.
User Run vlmcsd as another, preferrably less privileged, user. The
argument can be a user name or a numeric user id. You must have
the required privileges (capabilities on Linux) to change the
security context of a process without providing any credentials
(a password in most cases). On most unixoid OSses 'root' is the
only user who has these privileges in the default configuration.
This setting is not available in the native Windows version of
vlmcsd. See -u in vlmcsd(8). This setting cannot be changed on
the fly by sending SIGHUP to vlmcsd.
Group Run vlmcsd as another, preferrably less privileged, group. The
argument can be a group name or a numeric group id. You must
have the required privileges (capabilities on Linux) to change
the security context of a process without providing any creden
tials (a password in most cases). On most unixoid OSses 'root'
is the only user who has these privileges in the default config
uration. This setting is not available in the native Windows
version of vlmcsd. See -g in vlmcsd(8). This setting cannot be
changed on the fly by sending SIGHUP to vlmcsd.
SPECIAL KEYWORDS
Any valid GUID is being treated as a special keyword in the ini file.
It is used to select a specfic ePID and HwId for an application GUID.
The argument has the form ePID [ / HwId ]. KMS currently knows only 3
application GUIDs:
55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f (Windows)
59a52881-a989-479d-af46-f275c6370663 (Office 2010)
0ff1ce15-a989-479d-af46-f275c6370663 (Office 2013)
To use specific ePIDs for Windows, Office 2010 and Office 2013 you
could add the following lines to vlmcsd.ini:
55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f = 55041-00206-184-207146-03-1062-6002.0000-3322013
59a52881-a989-479d-af46-f275c6370663 = 55041-00096-216-598637-03-17418-6002.0000-3312013
0ff1ce15-a989-479d-af46-f275c6370663 = 55041-00206-234-742099-03-9217-6002.0000-2942013
The ePID is currently a comment only. You can specify any string up to
63 bytes. In Windows 7 Microsoft has blacklisted few ( < 10 ) ePIDs
that were used in KMSv5 versions of the "ratiborus virtual machine".
Microsoft has given up on blacklisting when KMS emulators appeared in
the wild.
Even if you can use "Activated by cool hacker guys" as an ePID, you may
wish to use ePIDs that cannot be detected as non-MS ePIDs. If you don't
know how these "valid" ePIDs look like exactly, do not use GUIDS in
vlmcsd.ini. vlmcsd provides internal mechanisms to generate valid
ePIDs.
If you use non-ASCII characters in your ePID (you shouldn't do anyway),
these must be in UTF-8 format. This is especially important when you
run vlmcsd on Windows or cygwin because UTF-8 is not the default encod
ing for most editors.
If you are specifying an optional HWID it follows the same syntax as in
the -H option in vlmcsd(8) ecxept that you must not enclose a HWID in
quotes even if it contains spaces.
