Agent third-party deployment: Updating config.ini on a UNIX Device
FlexNet Manager Suite
2020 R1
(On-Premises)
For OS X and UNIX managed devices, many preferences are stored in the
config.ini
file stored in
/var/opt/managesoft/etc
. This file acts as a “virtual
registry”: that is, a repository on non-Windows platforms for settings that, on
Windows platforms, are stored in the registry.
If you wish to update settings in config.ini
, you can use the
following approach, which can be completed manually or can be scripted with an
appropriate deployment tool. In this description, the example used is to disable
network sense in an installed FlexNet inventory agent.
To update the config.ini file:
/var/opt/managesoft/etc/config.ini
file shows that
the settings in your temporary file have been applied to the
config.ini
.Tip: The config.ini
file is used only for the FlexNet inventory agent installed locally on the target
device (the Adopted case or Agent third-party deployment case). Do
not attempt to use it for any of the other cases.
