Configuration Requirements

Before you start

Goal

  • Be ready to configure Altair SLC Hub.

Prerequisites

  • Complete the initial installation.
  • Administrator privileges on the host.

Requirements

During the setup of Altair SLC Hub the user doing the install will need to write configuration files and run commands that will control the Altair SLC Hub.

To do this the users who will be managing the Altair SLC Hub must be added to the slchub group that was created during the install process. This will allow access to the relevant commands such as hubctl and permission to write configuration files in the correct directory.

To add a user to a group will need to be done with administrator privileges. The following command will add a user to the slchub group. 

sudo usermod -a -G slchub <username>

  • Users who will be managing the Altair SLC Hub must be members of the Administrators group. Membership of this group is required for both writing configuration files and running commands such as hubctl.
  • The same users should also have read/write access to the [etc directory] and [var directory]. These are not visible by default, but members of the Administrators group will have the ability to set these permissions and can do so from Windows Explorer.
  • When running the hubctl command, users need to start the command prompt 'as Administrator'. This is necessary to grant the correct permissions for writing configuration files.

These permissions will be referred to as 'Altair SLC Hub configuration privileges'
