UMS ID

The UMS ID is essentially a certificate of your IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) server. It is used, for example, for the communication of your UMS with the IGEL Cloud Services and the IGEL License Portal (ILP). The UMS ID consists of a public/private key pair. In the UMS ID area of the UMS Console, you can see details on the UMS ID and export the public key of the UMS ID as a .crt file.

Menu path: UMS Administration > Global Configuration > UMS ID

What is the UMS ID Used For?

If registered in the ILP, the UMS ID allows for using Automatic License Deployment (ALD) without the need to handle an ALD Token with each purchase. The registration of the UMS ID is done by uploading the exported certificate file to the ILP, as described in Setting up Automatic License Deployment (ALD) .

The UMS ID is also used for communication with the IGEL Cloud Services. To enable the communication, you need to register the UMS in the IGEL Customer Portal. For details, see Registering the UMS.

A UMS ID is not affected or changed when the UMS database is restored from a backup. The UMS ID does not change if any parameters of the UMS installation are changed, for instance, the host name / IP address. Thus, it can be transferred to any other server, for example, during migration. For details, see Transferring or Registering the UMS ID.

For the backup options of the UMS ID, see UMS ID Backup in the IGEL Administrator or IGEL UMS Administrator Command-Line Interface.

UMS ID in the UMS Console

Main UMS ID
The UMS ID used for communication with the ILP and IGEL Cloud Services. The first and last 10 characters are displayed.

The UMS ID is generated upon each UMS Server installation. Therefore, if you have a Distributed UMS (see IGEL UMS Installation) environment, each of the servers has its own UMS ID, i.e. Local UMS ID. For the communication of all UMS Servers with the ILP and IGEL Cloud Services, a Main UMS ID is used. Therefore, the Main UMS ID must be synchronized between all servers, see UMS ID status below.

Export UMS ID
Export the UMS ID as a .crt file. You need this file for registration in the ILP and IGEL Customer Portal. For details, see How to Export the UMS ID.

Main UMS ID fingerprint
The SHA-256 fingerprint of the UMS ID.

UMS ID Status

If you are operating a single server, this area shows the status of the UMS ID for your server.

If you are operating a Distributed UMS environment, this area lists the UMS ID status for each server of the UMS installation. Each server gets the UMS ID on startup or restart.

Host name
Name of the host server as shown under UMS Administration > UMS Network > Server.

Server status
Status of the server, e.g. "Running"
Possible values:

• Running

• Not running

UMS ID status
Indicates whether the server has the current Main UMS ID or not. If it has the main UMS ID, the field reads Main UMS ID or In sync. If not, the server must be restarted to get synchronized. 
Possible values:

• Main UMS ID

• In sync

• Not in sync, please restart server

If the restart was unhelpful, the UMS ID has to be synchronized manually, see How to Manually Synchronize the UMS ID .

UMS ID
The UMS ID currently used on the server. The first and last 10 characters are displayed.

UMS ID fingerprint
The SHA-256 fingerprint of the UMS ID.
