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 (not all keywords may be available
|
||
depending on the operating system and the options used when vlmcsd(8)
|
||
was compiled):
|
||
|
||
|
||
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 or -P on the command line, all Listen keywords in the ini
|
||
file will be ignored. The Listen keyword cannot be used if vlm‐
|
||
csd has been compiled to use Microsoft RPC (Windows and Cygwin
|
||
only) or simple sockets.
|
||
|
||
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 if vlmcsd has been compiled to use simple sock‐
|
||
ets or on Windows and Cygwin if vlmcsd(8) has been compiled to
|
||
use Microsoft RPC. Otherwise you must use Listen instead. Causes
|
||
vlmcsd to listen on that port instead of 1688.
|
||
|
||
|
||
FreeBind
|
||
Can be TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE, you can use the Listen keyword
|
||
with IP addresses that are currently not defined on your system.
|
||
vlmcsd(8) will start listening on these IP addresses as soon as
|
||
they become available. This keyword is only available under
|
||
Linux and FreeBSD because no other OS currently supports that
|
||
feature. FreeBSD supports this only for IPv4 and requires the
|
||
PRIV_NETINET_BINDANY privilege which is normally assigned to
|
||
proccesses of the root user.
|
||
|
||
|
||
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 2013/2016 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.
