Welcome to Universal Type Server

Universal Type Server® is the next generation of workgroup font management software. Written for the latest operating systems, this cross-platform system combines the power, speed, and control that administrators need with the seamless font delivery and elegant interface that users expect.

Type Server® provides centralized control, consistency, and compliance for all levels of font management— administrators as well as client users. Administrators can rest assured that the appropriate fonts are available to the client when they need them, and rogue fonts are kept out of the workflow. Meanwhile, users are certain that they are using the correct, approved fonts for their projects by using the Universal Type Client™.

If you have just installed Universal Type Server and want to get going quickly, you should do these things:

Log in to the Server Administration application.

1. Open a new browser tab or window.

2. Enter the address of your Type Server, followed by the port number for the Server Administration application. By default, this port is 18081.

Example: http://127.0.0.1:18081

3. Log in using the account name administrator and password password.

Enter your license numbers.

1. Click Licenses in the list on the left.

2. Enter your serial number and click [

Add Serial Number

]

3. If you have a Core Client license, enter that serial number and click [

Add Serial Number

]

For further configuration steps, see Installation Overview on page 5.

After you configure your server, you should change the administrator account password. Do this in the User

Management application.

1. Open a new browser window or tab.

2. Enter the address of your Type Server, followed by the port number for the User Management application. By default, this port is 8080.

Example: http://127.0.0.1:8080

3. Log in using the administrator account credentials listed above.

4. In the Workgroups pane, click All Users.

5. In the Users pane, select the Administrator user account.

6. In the Details pane, click the Account tab and enter a new password in the Password field, then enter it again in the Confirm Password field.

Write your new password down; if you forget it, you will need to contact Extensis Technical Support for assistance in resetting the password.

7. Click [

Save

]

For details about using the User Management application, see the Help system in the application.

About the Server Administration Guide

This Server Administration guide provides instructions for installing and configuring the server, as well as general server management information.

Universal Type Server is administered through three primary applications: the Server Administration application, the User Management application, and the Universal Type Client. In addition, Enterprise installations have access to the Universal Type Core Client for users that do not have changing font needs.

- 1 -

For detailed instructions about configuring roles, workgroups and users, please see the User Management

Guide, or the help system available within the application.

All management of the physical font files such as adding fonts to the server is accomplished in the Universal

Type Client. Other administrative functions such as running license reports are also performed from the Type

Client. For information about these features as well as all other client operations, please see the Universal

Type Client User Guide or choose Help > Universal Type Client Help.

Installation Overview

The following is a general overview of the steps required to install and configure Universal Type Server.

1. Verify server system requirements.

Make sure your server meets or exceeds the specifications found at the Product Support page

(

http://www.extensis.com/support/product-support/universal-type-server-6/

2. Run the installer on the target server computer.

You can download the latest version of the installer from the Product Support page

(

http://www.extensis.com/support/product-support/universal-type-server-6/

). For detailed

installation instructions, see Installing Universal Type Server on the next page.

Note that you do not need to install the software on the server's boot partition.

3. Log in to the Server Administration application.

The Server Administration application is browser-based; it will start automatically when the

installation is complete. To start it yourself, see Opening the Server Administration application on page 9.

4. Enter your Universal Type Server serial number.

See Universal Type Server Serial Numbers on the next page.

5. Set the Bonjour Name (optional).

Bonjour makes it easy for users to find your Type Server. See Setting the Bonjour Name on page 18.

6. Check for and resolve port conflicts.

Universal Type Server requires several open ports for communication; if any of these are in use by

other software then you will need to change them. See Resolving Port Conflicts on page 13.

7. Set any desired server configuration options.

This could include: n

Defining a Backup Plan (see Defining a Backup Plan on page 24);

n n

Configuring Log Files (see Log Files on page 10);

Any other necessary server settings.

After installing the server, open the User Management application. From here, you can configure workgroups and roles, then add users. These topics are covered in the User Management Guide and help system.

- 5 -

Installing Universal Type Server

Before installation, ensure that your server meets all of the minimum system requirements.

Copy the installer onto the server’s hard disk, double-click to launch the installer and follow the instructions.

For any late-breaking changes to the product, see the Universal Type Server Release Notes. These notes can be accessed from the Product Support page (

http://www.extensis.com/support/productsupport/universal-type-server-6/

After the installer runs, the installation application starts your web browser and opens the Server

Administration application.

NOTE

You can administer the server using a web browser on a remote computer.

Enter the server’s IP Address into your browser’s address field followed by a colon and the port number 18081. If this port is already in use on your server, a random port is assigned. To obtain the port number, use the command line

tool; see Viewing Server Settings with the Command Line Tool on page 53.

In the Server Administration application, log in using the default Server Administrator username and password:

Server Administrator username: administrator

Server Administrator password: password

You should change the password in the User Management application before adding any other users to the

Type Server.

Universal Type Server Serial Numbers

Universal Type Server is licensed on a concurrent user model: your license allows a certain number of users to connect at the same time (concurrently).

To begin using Universal Type Server, you must first enter your product’s serial numbers using the Server

Administration application.

Note: Your serial numbers are listed in your product receipt email and are also available by logging in to your account at the Extensis website (

https://secure.extensis.com/loginpage

To serialize the server:

1. Log in to the Server Administration application.

2. Click Licenses.

3. Enter the Client serial number into the field and click [

]

5. If you have an Enterprise license, enter that serial number and click [

Add Serial Number

]

Modules

Universal Type Server allows you to extend functionality with add-in Modules.

Typically, you will need to license your server and install the module on the Universal Type Server system before you can enter the license for the module.

See the details for your specific module for complete installation and licensing instructions.

- 6 -

Uninstalling Universal Type Server

Removing Universal Type Server removes all of the Type Server application files, but leaves your font repository and any backup files on the server.

To remove the Universal Type Server application on Mac OS X:

1. In the Finder, navigate to Applications/Extensis/Universal Type

Server/applications/.

2. Double-click the Uninstall Universal Type Server application icon and follow the instructions.

3. To remove the font repository and backup files from the default install location, move all files in the

Applications/Universal Type Server/ folder to the Trash.

To remove the Universal Type Server application on Windows Server 2012:

1. Choose Start > Control Panel.

2. Click Programs, then click Programs and Features.

3. Select Universal Type Server.

4. Click [

Uninstall

]

5. To remove the font repository and backup files from the default installation location, delete all files from the directory Program Files/Extensis/Universal Type Server/.

NOTE

Your font repository and backup files may be in a custom location. You can delete these files if you no longer need them.

Upgrading From a Previous Version

IMPORTANT l l

Please run a complete backup before attempting your upgrade.

Users of Universal Type Server 5 can upgrade directly to version 6. Users of earlier versions must upgrade to version 5 first.

Universal Type Server downloads are available from the Extensis

website (

http://www.extensis.com/support/productsupport/universal-type-server-5/

The following procedure is appropriate for users who are currently using the embedded Universal Type Server database. If you are upgrading to an external SQL database, read the external database configuration

instructions for Converting Between Database Types on page 35.

Create a backup file

Before you begin the upgrade process, it is essential that you create a backup file of your current installation.

Newer versions of Universal Type Server use an upgraded database, so if you ever want to downgrade Type

Server to a previous version, this backup is required to complete the process.

Also, if you are moving to an external database, this backup file is used during the upgrade process.

- 7 -

To backup your current Universal Type Server to your current backup location:

1. Open your web browser and start the Server Administration application.

2. Under Datastore on the left, click Backups.

3. Note your current backup location, and click [

Backup now

]

Install Universal Type Server

The Universal Type Server installer automatically removes your previously installed server, while keeping all of your fonts, users and data intact.

1. Copy the new Universal Type Server installer to your server and double-click to run.

2. Follow the prompts to install the server upgrade.

NOTES l l

During the upgrade process, all users will be disconnected and the server will be placed in Standby mode. After upgrading the server, change the

Access State to Normal. Users will need to log in to the Type Server again.

The database upgrade might take some time to finish. When complete, the server automatically starts and is ready for users to connect.

After the installation is complete, serialize the server with your serial number.

You are now ready to configure an external database and connect to Directory Services as required.

Deploy new Universal Type Client

The new version of Universal Type Server includes a new version of Universal Type Client. If you have deployed Universal Type Client 5, you can allow your users to continue with this version. However, many new features and performance enhancements will not be available if you do not upgrade users to the latest client. This is especially true if you are going to rely on Type Server to report on font activity or enforce font license compliance: older Type Clients do not provide the information that Type Server requires for these features.

If you are still using Universal Type Client 4, you must update users to a newer version; we recommend updating to the latest version of Universal Type Client 6.

You do not need to upgrade users all at once, but we strongly recommend that you upgrade users to the latest Universal Type Client at your earliest convenience.

Server Status

Opening the Server Administration application

The Server Administration application is where the Server Administrator is able to: l l l l l l l l start, stop, and pause the server; change the server’s Bonjour name; examine and change port settings; manage memory allocation; view connected clients; configure and restore backups; locate, move, or create a new datastore; manage server serial numbers.

To log in to the Server Administration application:

1. Open a supported web browser.

Recent versions of most popular browsers with the latest Adobe Flash plug-in are supported.

2. In the address field, enter your server IP address followed by a colon and the port number. The default server administration port is 18081 (also called the Web Admin port). For example: http://192.168.0.1:18081 or http://localhost:18081.

3. Enter the administration username and password. The default Server Administrator username and password are administrator and password.

NOTES l l l

The Password field is case-sensitive, but the Username field is not.

It is very important to change the Server Administrator password as soon after installation as possible.

The default location of the User Management application is the same IP address, with the port number 8080. For example: http://localhost:8080

- 9 -

Log Files

The Universal Type Server creates log files to help identify and troubleshoot potential issues with the server.

These files include records of the following transactions, as well as other information: l l l l l l l l l l

User login and logout

The IP addresses of connected users

The addition and deletion of workgroups

The addition and deletion of users

Server startup

Server shut down

Database backup, restoration, and changes to backup settings

Database deletion

Changes in database location

Changes in log file location

On Windows, the default location for log files is:

Program Files\Extensis\Universal Type Server\Logs

On Mac OS X, the default location for log files is:

Applications/Extensis/Universal Type Server/Logs

These are the logs that are important for server administration:

Log file name Purpose extensis.admin.log

Contains all log messages displayed in the Server Activity window of the Server

Administration Status page.

extensis.server.log This is the main server log. Changing the server logging level affects what is recorded in this file.

server.log

boot.log

Contains very verbose logging of server activity.

This log is created by JBoss upon startup. If JBoss is having problems at launch time, this file can provide useful diagnostic information.

Changing the Logging Level

The contents of the main Universal Type Server log file, extensis.server.log, can be updated based on how much detail that you need.

The logging levels available are:

ERROR

WARN

INFO

Log Level What Gets Logged

Displays only error messages.

Displays only error and warning messages.

This is the default logging level and includes a wide variety of information about server activity.

This level is recommended for most installations.

DEBUG This level of logging includes very detailed information about your server and can result in very large log files. Itis not recommended unless specifically requested by your support representative.

- 10 -

To change the server logging level:

1. Open the Server Administration application (see Opening the Server Administration application on page 9).

2. Click Logging.

3. Choose a new level from the Logging level drop-down menu, then click [

Update Server

]

Changing the Log Location

Administrators can change the location where the main Universal Type Server log file, extensis.server.log, is placed.

To change the log file location:

1. Open the Server Administration application (see Opening the Server Administration application on page 9).

2. Click Logging.

3. Enter a new log location into the Logging directory field. The default location is in the logs folder of the Universal Type Server application folder. The following are examples of new paths:

Windows: C:\Universal Type Server\logs

Macintosh: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/logs

NOTE

The new logging directory folder must already exist on the disk. Creating log files on a network location is not supported. Enter the full path, do not use relative paths, and include a drive letter on Windows.

4. Click [

Update server

]

A new extensis.server.log file is created in the new location. The log file in the previous location is not removed, but it is no longer updated.

All other Universal Type Server log files always remain in the default location, and the location cannot be changed. If removed, they are automatically recreated by the server.

Changing Log Backups

The extensis.server.log file is backed up on a daily basis at 12:15 a.m. to your designated logging location. Log backup files are named with the log file name followed by the date of the backup, and they can be opened with any text editor or word processor.

Since these files can become very large, you may not want to keep a significant number of them on the server. By default, the server keeps the 10 most recent log files.

To update the number of log backups to keep:

1. Open the Server Administration application (see Opening the Server Administration application on page 9).

2. Click Logging.

3. Enter the number of backups to keep in the Retained server logs field and click [

Update server

]

- 11 -

Ports

The Universal Type Server requires a number of ports on your server. These ports are used for client connection, server administration as well as internal server communication.

Port

UTS HTTP / Web Service

UTS HTTPS / Web Service

UTS Webservice

UTS CLI Port

Web Admin HTTP

Web Admin CLI Port

RMI Port

Default

8080

8443

8083

9999

18081

19999

4447

All ports used with Universal Type Server must not conflict with other applications on the server.

External ports must be opened in the host system’s firewall and operating system. The process of opening ports varies by operating system. Please refer to the Mac OS X Server and Microsoft Windows documentation for more information.

Ports for External Communication

The Universal Type Server requires three ports to be open for server administration and client connection.

l l l

UTS HTTP/Web Service port: Default port number 8080

UTS HTTPS/Web Service port: Default port number 8443

Web Admin port: Default port number 18081

These ports are used on a regular basis and are listed on the Server Administration Ports page.

IMPORTANT

If you are configuring a Primary and Secondary server in a failover configuration, be sure the ports are set to the same values on both systems.

See Configuring Automatic Failover Services on page 37 for more

information.

UTS HTTP/Web Service port

This is the port where users connect to your server, as well as the port where administrators open the User

Management application. The default port setting is 8080.

Client connections

Clients require the following information for server login: l l l

The server IP address, DNS name or Bonjour name.

The UTS HTTP / Web Service port number. If using a Bonjour name, a port is not required.

Client account name and password.

User Management

To connect to the User Management application, enter the server IP address in the address field of any supported browser followed by a colon and the port number.

For example: http://123.45.34.12:8080/

- 12 -

UTS HTTPS/Web Service port

When the secure connection option is enabled, administrators connect to the User Management application through the UTS HTTPS/Web Service Port.

The default setting for this port is 8443.

The port for secure connections is only used to connect with the User Management application. With secure connections enabled, when administrators attempt to connect with the UTS HTTP/Web Service port, they are automatically redirected to the UTS HTTPS/Web Service port.

For example, an administrator can enter http://123.45.34.12:8080 and be redirected to https://123.45.34.12:8443, or enter https://123.45.34.12:8443 directly.

Web Admin port

This port is used to open the Server Administration application. Enter the server IP address followed by a colon and the port number in the address field of a supported web browser. The default port setting is

18081.

Example: http://123.45.34.12:18081/

Ports for Internal Server Communication

A number of standard Java J2EE and web service ports must be reserved for the internal communication of

Universal Type Server.

It is possible that you may have other applications running or requiring Java on your server. Type Server runs a self-contained version of Java, so it is possible to run other Java and web service applications on the same computer, provided that you resolve any port conflicts.

To avoid conflicts, use the Ports page to assign new port numbers for Type Server.

The following ports are required for internal Universal Type Server communication:

Port Default

UTS Webservice 8083

UTS CLI Port

RMI Port

9999

4447

Resolving Port Conflicts

The Universal Type Server installer checks to see if the default server administration port 18081 (Web Admin

Port) is bound to any other application. If it is already taken, then another port is chosen randomly before the Server Administration application starts.

All other ports listed on the Server Administration’s Ports page are required for proper operation of the server.

Type Server checks for any port conflicts and lists them in the extensis.admin.log. The server uses standard JBoss ports, so if your server has other applications that are built using this technology, you may need to change the default Type Server port numbers.

- 13 -

To update port numbers:

1. Open the Server Administration application (see Opening the Server Administration application on page 9).

2. Under Settings on the left, click Ports.

3. For each port that requires a new port number, enter a new port number or click [

Find port

]

to locate an open port.

4. Click [

Update Ports

]

5. Restart the server (see Stopping, Starting, and Restarting the Server on page 17).

Opening Ports in the Windows Firewall

To open ports for server administration and client connection:

1. Open the Windows Control Panel.

2. Double click the Windows Firewall icon.

3. Click the Change Settings option.

4. If prompted, click [

Continue

]

to allow this action.

to accept the new settings.

Security Concerns

The Universal Type Core communicates with the Type Server using HTTP through the JBoss HTTP port (see

Ports for External Communication on page 12).

All client and server login usernames are sent as clear text via HTTP. For security reasons, all associated passwords are encrypted and sent using the MD5 cryptographic hash function.

For additional security, Extensis recommends that the Type Server run behind a firewall using authentication

through the required external ports (see Ports for External Communication on page 12).

Implementing a Secure Connection

A secure connection provides encrypted communications between Universal Type Server and the computer that is used to administer the server.

A redirect to the secure connection port is not enabled by default. A secure connection can be enabled using the default, self-signed certificate, or with a custom security certificate for your organization.

NOTE

Enabling a secure connection will cause a slight performance degradation in the User Management application. This setting does not affect your client users in any way.

- 14 -

Enabling a secure connection requires the following steps:

1. Obtain a custom security certificate.

2. Edit the standalone.xml file with your custom security certificate password.

3. Enable the automatic redirect to the secure connection by editing the web.xml file.

Obtain a Security Certificate

Security certificates tell the web user that the secure connection is valid and can be trusted. Typically these certificates are issued by trusted organizations. If desired, obtain a security certificate for your organization.

Universal Type Server includes a default, self-signed security certificate. This certificate allows you to create a secure connection without obtaining your own custom certificate. Using the default certificate will cause your browser to display a number of security warnings when you open the User Management application.

These warnings indicate the nature of the self-signed certificate, but by using it you can still create a secure connection with the Type Server. All browsers allow you to record a security exception or to trust the selfsigned certificate. See your browser’s documentation for details.

If you choose to obtain a custom security certificate, you can obtain a one from Verisign

(

http://www.verisign.com/ssl/

), GoDaddy (

http://www.godaddy.com/ssl/ssl-certificates.aspx

), or other Certificate Authority.

After obtaining the certificate, rename the file to uts.keystore and use it to replace the default certificate in the following location on your server:

Windows: C:\Program Files\Extensis\Universal Type

Server\applications\jboss\standalone\configuration\uts.keystore

Macintosh: /Applications/Extensis/Universal Type

Server/applications/jboss/standalone/configuration/uts.keystore

- 15 -

Edit the standalone.xml file

Editing the standalone.xml file enables the secure connection by editing the security certificate name, password, and location.

To add the security certificate:

1. Open the standalone.xml file from the following location with a text editor such as Notepad or

TextEdit.

Windows: C:\Program Files\Extensis\Universal Type

Server\applications\jboss\standalone\configuration\standalone.xml

Macintosh:/Applications/Extensis/Universal Type

Server/applications/jboss/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml

2. To change the name and location of your security certificate, search for the certificate-keyfile value. Edit the value between the quote marks to match your security certificate file name. If you renamed your security certificate to the default name, uts.keystore, and placed it in the default location, you can leave this value as is.

For example, the default entry in standalone.xml looks like this: certificate-keyfile="${jboss.server.base.dir}/configuration/uts.keystore"

If you have moved the security certificate file, enter its complete path between the quote marks.

Windows example: certificate-key-file="C:\Users\me\certificates\my_uts_ cert.keystore"

Macintosh example: certificate-key-file="/Users/me/Documents/my_uts_ certificate.keystore"

3. To enter the password of your security certificate, search for the password entry. Edit the value between the quote marks to match your security certificate password.

password="uts_ssl"

4. Save and close the standalone.xml file.

Enable a Redirect to the Secure Port

Editing the web.xml file enables a redirect from the standard web service port (default port 8080) to the secure connection port (default port setting 8443).

To enable the redirect:

1. Open the file from the following location with a text editor such as Notepad or TextEdit.

Windows: C:\Program Files\Extensis\Universal Type

Server\applications\jboss\standalone\deployments\uts.ear\uts.war\WE

B-INF\web.xml

Macintosh: /Applications/Extensis/Universal Type

Server/applications/jboss/standalone/deployments/uts.ear/uts.war/WE

B-INF/web.xml

2. Use the search feature to locate the line that contains the transport-guarantee parameter.

Change the following line from:

<transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee> to:

<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>

3. Save and close the web.xml file.

4. You will need to restart your Universal Type Server for the change to take affect.

- 16 -

Automatically Starting the Server

If you need to restart the physical server, the Autostart preference must be enabled for the server to automatically launch and serve fonts to clients.

The Autostart preference is enabled by default, but may be disabled if desired depending upon your server configuration.

To enable the Autostart preference:

1. Open the Server Administration application (see Opening the Server Administration application on page 9).

2. Click System.

3. Choose Autostart > Enabled.

4. Click [

Update server

]

If the Autostart preference is disabled, administrators are still able to connect to the Server Administration application to start the server.

Placing the Server in Standby Mode

Placing the server in standby mode prevents any non-administrative users from performing any actions that require communication with the Universal Type Server. The server runs normally for administrative users.

When in Standby Mode, all client users are not logged off, but are placed in offline mode. While in offline mode, users are only able to activate and preview files that are in their local cache. Font files that are not available for user are displayed in red in the Universal Type Client.

When performing datastore backups and restores, the Type Server automatically changes to standby mode before performing the required administrative task, and then changes back to normal mode when the task is complete.

To place the server in standby mode:

1. Notify users of your intention to place the server in standby mode.

2. Open your web browser and start the Server Administration application.

3. Click System.

4. Choose Access state > standby.

5. Click [

Update server

]

The server will be placed in standby mode.

6. Perform any necessary server maintenance.

7. Click System.

8. Choose Access state > normal.

9. Click [

Update server

]

The server resumes normal access and displays the Status page when complete.

Stopping, Starting, and Restarting the Server

If you need to stop, start, or restart Universal Type Server, use the Server Administration application. This ensures that all processes are properly shut down and restarted.

When you shut down the server, connected clients are automatically put in Offline mode. This means that client computers will only have access to fonts that are cached locally on their computer. Which fonts are cached depends mostly upon the font replication mode that is enabled for each user. See the User

Management Guide for more information.

- 17 -

Before you shut down or restart your Type Server, we recommend that you notify users so they can prepare to work offline.

To stop Universal Type Server:

1. Start your web browser and connect to the Server Administration application (see Opening the

Server Administration application on page 9).

2. Under Settings on the left, click System.

3. Choose Running state > stopped.

4. Click [

Update server

]

When the server has stopped, the Status page will be displayed.

To start the server:

1. Start your web browser and connect to the Server Administration application.

2. Click System again.

3. Choose Running state > started.

4. Click [

Update server

]

When the server has finished starting, the Status page will be displayed.

To restart the server:

Follow the steps above to stop the server, then follow the steps to start the server. Be sure the Status page shows the server has stopped before attempting to start it.

Starting automatically

If you need to restart the physical server hardware, you should enable the Autostart preference (see

Automatically Starting the Server on the previous page) for the Type Server to automatically launch and

serve fonts to clients. If this preference is disabled, you will need to start the Type Server manually.

Setting the Bonjour Name

Bonjour is a technology from Apple Inc. that enables users to easily locate Universal Type Server on the network. Bonjour technology is built into Mac OS X, and is installed by the Universal Type Client installer for clients using Microsoft Windows.

When users connect to the server, they only need to know the server’s Bonjour name, their username, and their password to connect.

To set the Universal Type Server Bonjour name:

1. Open the Server Administration application (see Opening the Server Administration application on page 9).

2. Click System.

3. Enter a Bonjour Name into the field. If you have more than one Type Server, choose as specific a name as possible.

4. Click [

Update server

]

5. Restart the server (see Stopping, Starting, and Restarting the Server on the previous page).

- 18 -

To test the new Bonjour name:

1. Launch the Universal Type Client.

2. If the client is currently connected to a server, choose File > Server > Forget Connection.

3. In the Connect to Server dialog, choose Server > Browse Local Servers.

4. Select your new Bonjour name from the list and click [

]

5. Enter your username and password and click [

Connect

]

Memory allocation

If you are using Universal Type Server with a large number of LDAP users or a large number of workgroups, you may find it necessary to increase the amount of memory available to the Type Server. This is especially important if your server logs have Java Heap Space errors.

To change the server memory allocation:

1. Click System.

2. Choose the desired memory allocation from the Memory Allocation pop-up menu.

Important: Select a size that is lower than the amount of physical memory in the server system. For example, if your server has 8GB of RAM, do not attempt to allocate more than 6GB to the Type

Server.

3. Click Update server.

The Universal Type Server will restart.

Locking Server Administration

The Server Administration application automatically logs you out after a period of inactivity. Sometimes you may want to continually monitor the server status, and not automatically be logged out. For example, you might want to keep the Status page displayed on a server room monitor.

Locking the status page does not prevent other users from accessing the Server Administration application from another computer.

To lock the Server Administration Status page:

1. Open the Server Administration application (see Opening the Server Administration application on page 9).

2. In the Status area, click the Lock icon.

To unlock the server, click the lock icon and log in.

- 19 -

Client Connections

Viewing Connected Users

Administrators can view a high level list of connected users in the Users page of the Server Administration application. This list provides the login User Name, Full Name, IP Address, and Login Date.

You can sort the list of users by any field by clicking the sort icon at the top of each column.

If you are using both traditional Type Client and Core Client connections in your configuration, users can be filtered by client type. Choose: l l l

User Type > All to display both Type Client and Core Client conenctions.

User Type > Full to display only Type Client connections.

User Type > CoreClient to display only Core Client connections.

To update the number of connected users visible at a time, enter a new number in the Users per page field and click [

Update page size

]

For more complete user management, including adding and removing users, open the User Management application.

Forcing User Disconnection

In some instances, you may need to force the logout of a currently connected user.

For example, if you are currently using all of your license seats, you may need to force the logout of one user to allow another user to connect. In another instance, you may need to force the logout of a recently terminated employee. You would of course also want to delete the user account of any terminated employee using the User Management application.

To force user logout:

1. Open your web browser and start the Server Administration application.

2. Click Usersin the menu at the left.

3. Check the boxes for the users that you want to disconnect. To select all users on the current page, check the box at the top of the first column.

4. Click [

Force Logout Selected Users

]

When you force the logout of a user, it is the same as the user selecting Server > Forget Connection.

After forcing the logout of a user, the next time the client attempts to synchronize with the server the connection is terminated and all server fonts are removed from the client.

Datastore

Creating a New Datastore

WARNING

When you create a new datastore, your current datastore will be deleted. You may wish to back up your existing datastore and move it to a safe location

before you create a new one. For instructions, see Backing Up the

Datastore on page 24.

The datastore consists of two parts: the database and the vault. The database location is fixed (whether you are using a native database or a SQL-based external database), but the vault can be moved to a new location.

The default location for the vault depends on your operating system: l l

Windows: C:\Program Files\Extensis\Universal Type Server\data\vault

Mac OS X: /Applications/Extensis/Universal Type Server/data/vault

For details about specifying a new vault location, see Vault Location Requirements on the next page.

To create a new datastore:

1. Log in to the Server Admin application.

2. Click Move/New under Datastore in the navigation menu on the left.

3. Enter the full path where you want to create a new vault in the field labeled New repository

location.

Universal Type Server will create any folders that don’t already exist.

Note: The database component of the datastore is always in the same location, regardless of whether you are using the built-in database or a SQL-based solution.

4. Click [

New datastore

]

5. Click [

]

to confirm.

The Type Server will go in to standby mode, then it will automatically start when the operation is complete.

After creating a new datastore, you will need to go through all of the standard configuration steps, including creating workgroups and users.

IMPORTANT

If you create a new vault on a network share, that share must be accessible in read/write mode to the account that your Type Server runs under. For

Universal Type Server installations on Windows, the share must be specified with a UNC path, and the Type Server must be running under a domain user account with full read/write access to the share. For Universal Type Server running on OS X, the share must be specified as a POSIX path.

- 21 -

Moving the Vault

The vault is the part of Universal Type Server's datastore that holds all the fonts hosted by your Universal

Type Server. Because it stores a copy of each unique font, your vault can become very large.

The vault is initially created on the same volume where you installed Universal Type Server. If you think that your vault will need more space, you can move it to a new drive.

Moving the vault can take several minutes, depending on how big it is. You should move it when users don't need to access your Universal Type Server.

Vault Location Requirements

The new location for the vault must: l l l l

Be specified by the full path to the vault folder (not a relative path such as ..\path_to_vault);

Always be accessible to the Universal Type Server;

Grant read/write access to the computer account under which Type Server runs;

Be specified by a UNC path (Windows) or a POSIX path (Mac OS X) if it is on a network volume.

You should use a folder dedicated to the vault, because Universal Type Server will create several folders inside it. We suggest naming the vault folder “vault.”

Be aware that if you locate your vault in a folder that others use, anyone that has access to that folder may inadvertently corrupt the vault’s contents.

WARNING l l

You should only move your vault to a network location if you are using a

failover configuration (see Configuring Automatic Failover Services on page 37).

You should not move your vault to a local volume that is removable (such as an external USB drive).

Windows vault path examples

C:\Users\jsmith\documents\vault\

D:\shared_files\font_vault\ (D: is a local drive)

\\NetworkFiles\Design\vault\ (NetworkFiles is the server name, Design is a shared volume on the server, and vault is the vault folder)

Mac vault path examples

/Users/jdoakes/font vault (Universal Type Server should be running under the jdoakes login account)

/Volumes/Marketing/misc/vault (Marketing is a shared network volume, misc is a folder on the volume, and vault is the vault folder)

If you are running Universal Type Server on Windows:

If you are using a network volume to store your vault, do not use a mapped drive path (such as l l

Z:\path_to_vault) as the path you enter in Universal Type Server. Instead, use the complete UNC path (such as \\remote_server\shared_volume_name\path_to_vault).

Universal Type Server must be running under a domain user account that has full read/write access to the network vault location.

If your vault is located on a Mac OS X system, be sure to enable Windows (SMB) sharing for the vault.

- 22 -

If you are running Universal Type Server on Mac OS X:

l l

If you are using a network volume to store your vault, enter the POSIX path to your vault (such as

/Volumes/shared_volume_name/path_to_vault) in Universal Type Server.

If you mount more than one network volume with the same name as the volume that your vault is on

(shared_volume_name in the example above), be aware that the order in which the volumes are mounted may make it impossible for Universal Type Server to find your vault. To be safe, only mount volumes with unique names. If you must mount network volumes that have identical names, be sure to always mount your vault’s volume first.

To move your vault to a new location:

1. Log in to the Server Admin application.

2. Click Move/New under Datastore in the navigation menu on the left.

3. Enter the full path where you want to move the vault in the field labeled New location for vault.

Universal Type Server will create any folders that don’t already exist.

4. Click [

Move vault

]

The Type Server will go in to standby mode, then it will automatically start when the operation is complete.

Backing Up and Restoring

Defining a Backup Plan

As you set up Universal Type Server, it is important to define an effective datastore backup plan. This ensures that, in cases of emergency, your datastore is safe and can be restored.

The Universal Type Server datastore contains all of the fonts, as well as all user, workgroup, and server data.

Backup files are rolled into a single, date-stamped .TAR file. TAR files are archive files like the ZIP files created by your operating system.

It is recommended that you back up your datastore at least once per week. Plan to store copies of the backup in an offsite location from time to time. This ensures that if anything happens to the local copies of the files, you can restore from the offsite backup.

For the highest level of data security, it is best to keep multiple backup files. Universal Type Server is able to automatically create and retain however many backup files that you need, and subsequently remove any out-of-date backups.

Backups can be performed manually, but it is much easier to define a schedule and allow Universal Type

Server to automatically create files.

IMPORTANT

Backups must be created in an existing folder location on the Universal Type

Server computer. Backing up the server to network locations, including NFSmounted or UNC accessible paths,

is not supported

In case of any hardware failure or other incident, a backup can be easily restored to a new server install location using the Server Administration application.

Backing Up the Datastore

While you can back up Universal Type Server’s data using other software, we recommend that you use the built-in backup utility. This allows you to quickly restore or replicate an entire Universal Type Server database, including all fonts and user information, on a new system if you need to.

You can back up the server manually or configure Universal Type Server to perform automatic backups at regular intervals.

To manually back up the datastore:

1. Open your web browser and start the Universal Type Server Administration application.

2. Under Datastore in the menu on the left, click Schedule backups.

3. Enter a local backup destination into the Backup destination field.

The default location for the datastore is the data\backups folder of the Universal Type Server application folder.

Enter the full path; do not use relative paths, and be sure to include a drive letter on Windows.

The following are examples of appropriate paths:

Windows: C:\Universal Type Server\backups

Macintosh: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/backups

4. Click [

Update server

]

5. Under Datastore in the menu on the left, click Backups.

6. Click [

Backup now

]

- 24 -

To configure automatic backups:

NOTE

For automatic backups, it is best to set backup times when most users are not connected to the server. When the server is performing a backup, users are not disconnected, but are unable to synchronize with the server until after the backup is complete.

1. Open your web browser and start the Universal Type Server Administration application.

2. Under Datastore in the menu on the left, click Schedule backups.

3. Enter a local backup destination into the Backup destination field.

The default location for the datastore is the data\backups folder of the Universal Type Server application folder.

Enter the full path; do not use relative paths, and include a drive letter on Windows.

The following are examples of appropriate new paths:

Windows: C:\Universal Type Server\backups

Macintosh: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/backups

4. Enter the number of backup files to retain in the Retained backups field.

For the highest level of data security, it is a good idea to keep multiple backups.

5. Choose the time and days for backing up that will cause the least amount of user disruption.

6. Click [

Update server

]

After setting automatic backups, be sure to make a note of the times when you should also be moving backup files off the server to a secure, offsite location.

Restoring a Backup

In the case of hardware failure or other issues, a backup datastore can be restored. The backup contains all fonts, users, workgroups, and all other settings to restore your datastore to the backed-up state.

WARNING

Restoring a backup overwrites your current datastore. All connected users are automatically logged out, and will need to reconnect.

To restore a backup:

1. Open your web browser and start the Server Administration application.

2. Under Datastore on the left, click Backups.

3. Enter the full path and filename of the backup file in the Restore field.

Enter the full path; do not use relative paths, and include a drive letter on Windows.

The following are examples of appropriate paths:

Windows: C:\Universal Type Server\backups\2008_02_18T10_00_00_156Z.tar

Macintosh: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/backups/2008_02_18T10_00_00_156Z.tar

4. Click [

Restore datastore

]

5. Click [

]

to confirm the restore.

The Universal Type Client Cache

Each client system stores fonts and other client data locally in a cache folder. This includes all necessary server fonts as well as items in client-based personal workgroups.

When a user chooses Server > Forget Connection, any font files cached in the Type Client cache are no longer available for use on that system.

If a user chooses Server > Go Offline, fonts are available depending on their font replication mode setting.

All: The user has access to all fonts in their workgroups.

l l

On-Demand Local Cache: The user has access to any fonts that they have previously used. Any fonts that they have ever previewed or activated reside in the cache.

On-Demand: The user has access to the fonts that are active on their system before going offline.

- 26 -

The Type Client cache consists of two components, the database and the type cache: l

The type cache is the storehouse for all fonts downloaded from the server. The cache’s structure varies l by platform. For the Mac OS X client, the UniversalType.typecache file is a bundle that contains all fonts. On Windows, font files are stored within a directory named cache.

UniversalType.db contains all of the database information, such as font and workgroup details and client permissions. It is stored within the UniversalType.typecache bundle.

WARNING

Deleting or moving any part of the client cache may render the application inoperable. Contact Extensis Technical Support before attempting to alter the client cache in any way.

The Type Client cache files are stored in the following locations:

Mac OS X: /Library/Extensis/UTC/<uid>/UniversalType.typecache/

The UserID (uid) is a unique number assigned by OS X to each user account. The first user account on the computer is 501, followed by 502, 503, and so on. To determine the uid for the current user, open a

Terminal window and enter the id command.

Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Extensis\UTC\cache\

To open this directory on Windows 8, 8.1, or 10, press

WIN+X to open the system menu, click Search, type the environment variable %LOCALAPPDATA%, then press

ENTER

To open this directory on Windows 7, click the Start menu, type %LOCALAPPDATA% into the Search field, then press

ENTER

- 27 -

Disabling Other Font Managers

To ensure the proper operation of Universal Type Client, it is important to disable or uninstall any other font managers.

Just closing or quitting other font managers might not be sufficient. Many font mangers, including the

Universal Type Client, run an application in the background that manages font activation and deactivation.

These background applications must be disabled before running the Type Client. To do so, check for an application preference that tells the other application to open on startup or login and then restart your computer.

On Mac OS X, it is important to disable two preferences within the Font Book application. The following preferences affect system behavior and can interfere with Universal Type Client: l l

Automatic font activation: This option interferes with professional font mangers and does not allow for automatic font activation across all applications. The Universal Type Client still allows you to use plug-in based automatic activation for each supported application. This option is present in all versions of Font Book.

Alert me if system fonts change: When enabled, this option will automatically place “protected” fonts back into your system font folders even if you remove them. It also can prevent a professional font manager from effectively managing or overriding your system fonts. This option is only present in Font

Book versions includes with OS X 10.8 and earlier.

WARNING

Do not launch Font Book while using Universal Type Client. Remove it from the Dock if necessary.

The Universal Type Core

The Universal Type Core is a background application that runs on the client computer. This application handles all communication with the Type Server and makes it possible for the user to close the Universal

Type Client and still keep fonts active and automatically activate fonts. The Type Core handles all plug-in based auto-activation requests and automatically implements any updated permissions, workgroup changes, and all other changes upon synchronization with the server.

The Universal Type Core is started when the user logs in to their computer. You can stop the Type Core from the Universal Type Client preferences.

To stop the Type Core:

1. Start the Universal Type Client.

2. Choose Universal Type Client > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (Windows).

3. Click the FMCore tab in the Preferences dialog.

4. Click [

Stop FMCore

]

5. When asked if you are sure, click [

Stop FMCore

]

When you stop the Universal Type Core, font management is disabled, and all active fonts are deactivated.

Generally, the only fonts that will be available for use on the computer will be the fonts protected by the operating system.

- 28 -

Client License Management

Universal Type Server uses a machine-based licensing model. The number of client connections allowed is encoded into your Type Server serial number.

You can see how many users are connected, the associated IP addresses, and unique computer identification in the Users panel in the Server Administration application. The Licenses panel displays your serial numbers, as well as the number of client connections allowed.

How client connections are counted

For environments where more than one user connects using the same computer, only one client license is consumed. This allows an environment that may have many users on a computer during the course of the day, such as educational institutions, to allow each user to connect, and even if each user does not choose the Forget Connection command at the end of their session, the computer itself only consumes one client license for the computer.

Conversely, if a user logs in to Universal Type Server from two separate computers, two client licenses are required. For example, in an environment where every user has both a Mac and a PC, a client license is required for each computer.

Automatic disconnection

Users who may spend long amounts of time working offline away from the server must connect to the server at least once every 30 days or be automatically disconnected from the server. Once disconnected, the client license is freed and available for another user. The disconnected user is no longer able to access fonts through the Universal Type Client, and must reconnect to Type Server to regain access.

Client license overage

When the number of licensed clients is reached, any additional users who attempt to connect are not able to do so. To forcibly disconnect a user to make that connection available for another user, select the user from the Users panel of the Server Administration application and click [

Force Logout Selected Users

]

- 29 -

Enterprise Features

The Enterprise version of Universal Type Server provides extended capabilities for organizations with large font management and compliance needs. The additional and enhanced features available to Enterprise users are: l l l l

External SQL database connection

Automatic Failover Services

Font license compliance enforcement

Font usage and compliance reporting

Font usage and licensing is managed through the User Management application.

Upgrading to Enterprise

When you are ready to upgrade from Universal Type Server Professional to Universal Type Server Enterprise, you should back up your datastore.

Click Licenses and enter your Enterprise Module serial number, then click [

Add Serial Number

]

External SQL Database

Rather than store the Universal Type Server database in the native embedded database, Enterprise users have the option to store all of the required data in an external SQL database. You may want to do this if: l

Your company maintains a dedicated database server for data management and centralization l l purposes.

You need to take advantage of the additional administration and performance tuning options in thirdparty SQL databases that are not available in the embedded Type Server database.

You require a distribution of hardware resources to improve the performance and scalability of your server.

After configuring the connection to an external database, most administrative functions, and all client-level interaction with Universal Type Server function the same as the native, embedded Type Server database.

External Database Requirements

Universal Type Server Enterprise supports the following SQL database servers: l

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP1, 2008 R2, 2008 R2 Express, 2012, or 2014 (Windows) l

MySQL 5.5 or later (OS X or Windows)

Note: While it may be possible to use Universal Type Server with other versions of these databases, no others have not been tested and cannot be supported.

- 30 -

Hardware recommendations for an external SQL database

For best performance, your database server should be configured on a separate server-grade computer l l l from your Universal Type Server.

In general, faster processor cores, faster memory, a faster disk interface, faster hard disk, and faster network connection will yield optimal performance.

If possible, your database software and database should be installed on a separate physical disk from the database server’s operating system.

Follow these system requirements or recommendations for your particular database: n

Microsoft SQL Server 2012:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506

(v=sql.110).aspx

Microsoft SQL Server 2014:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506

(v=sql.120).aspx

MySQL does not publish specific system requirements for the database server itself. See

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-requirements-hardware.html

for requirements for the highly-recommended MySQL Workbench.

Installing an External Database

Install Universal Type Server

Before configuring the external database connection, install the Universal Type Server application, and then proceed with the instructions below.

If you have previously installed and configured Universal Type Server, and prefer to upgrade your data, follow

the instructions for Converting Between Database Types on page 35. There is no need to re-install

Universal Type Server.

Install the database server and create a database

Install and configure your external database server. To get the benefits of an external database, we recommend installing your database server on a separate system from Universal Type Server. While it is possible to install the database server on the same hardware, the most benefit will be achieved from separate hardware.

1. Install the database server following the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Using the database administration interface or command line tools provided by your database server, create a username and password for Universal Type Server to the new SQL database. In Microsoft

SQL Server, the username is called a “Login.” Choose SQL Server Authentication when creating your new login.

3. Create a new empty SQL database for the Universal Type Server datastore. The user that you created in the previous step must be set as the database owner.

IMPORTANT

When creating the database, be sure to specify Latin1_General_BIN2 collation for MS SQL Server. For MySQL, leave collation as Server Default.

For detailed assistance setting up MySQL on Mac OS X, see Installing MySQL on Mac OS X on page 33.

Open a port in the firewall

If you are using a firewall on the computer that hosts the SQL server, you must open a port so that Universal

Type Server can connect to the SQL database.

The default SQL port for Microsoft SQL Server is port 1433.

- 31 -

The default SQL port for MySQL is port 3306.

This port can be changed in your database server to meet any specialized requirements.

Connect Universal Type Server to the empty SQL database

1. Open the Server Administration application (see Opening the Server Administration application on page 9).

2. In the Datastore area, click Database.

3. Click the Database Type drop-down menu and select your database server type.

4. Enter the following fields so that Universal Type Server can connect to the new database server.

Field Description

Server Address Either the DNS name or IP address of the computer hosting the database server.

Port

Database Name

Username

Password

The port used to access the external database server. The default Microsoft SQL Server port is 1433, and for MySQL the default is 3306.

The SQL database name.

The username that you created for Universal Type Server to use. When using Microsoft

SQL Server, this is the “Login” name.

The password for the username above.

5. The Additional Parameters field is used to modify the behavior of the connections between

Universal Type Server and the SQL database server. The use of this field is relatively rare. If required, enter any parameters provided by your SQL Database Administrator. The following table illustrates a number of parameters that may be helpful. For more information about additional parameters, see

http://jtds.sourceforge.net/faq.html#urlFormat

Parameter Usage Description namedPipe namedPipe=[true, false]

When set to true, named pipe communication is used to connect to the database instead of TCP/IP sockets. This can result in performance gains when the SQL Server is running on the same computer as the Universal Type Server.

instance instance="<instance name>"

Allows the Universal Type Server to connect to a named instance of SQL Server.

6. Click [

New datastore

]

to create the new datastore.

Verify database creation

After creating the new datastore, click Status in the Server Administration application. Check in the Status window to verify that Universal Type Server has stopped and restarted. This is your indication that the

datastore has been created and the server is running. See External Database Error Messages on page 37

for solutions to common issues.

You can now administer the Universal Type Server the same as you would with an embedded database.

Converting Between Database Types

With Universal Type Server Enterprise and an appropriate SQL database server installed, converting between two different database types is the relatively simple process of backing up and restoring.

- 35 -

You may need to convert between one database type and another if you need to: l

Upgrade from the embedded database to an external SQL database.

l l l

Troubleshoot an issue and want to maintain continuity of connection for your users.

Perform necessary maintenance on the external SQL server.

Port your database from one database server type to another.

In general, to convert from one database to another, backup the source database, change the database type in Universal Type Server, then restore the backup.

Warn users

Before beginning the process, warn users that they will be logged out of Universal Type Server automatically during the backup process.

To ensure that all current data is captured and not modified between the backup and restore processes, users should not log back in until after the upgrade process is complete.

Backup the current database

Before you begin the conversion process, it is essential that you create a backup file of your current installation. This backup file will be used to transfer your data between the source and target database servers.

To backup your current Universal Type Server to your current backup location:

1. Under Datastore on the left, click Backups.

2. Note your current backup location, and click [

Backup now

]

Switch to the new database server

The process to switch from one database server to another varies depending upon the new database server you are choosing, as well as the source database type.

If you are moving from the native, embedded Universal Type Server database to a new external SQL database server, or are moving from one type of external database to another:

1. Follow the instructions to install an external database (see Installing an External Database on page 31). This includes creating a new empty database, new database user, and connecting the to

Universal Type Server.

2. Proceed to the next step to restore your backup file.

If you are moving an external database server to an embedded Universal Type Server database:

1. Open your web browser and start the Server Administration application.

2. Under Datastore on the left, click Database.

3. Choose Database Type > PostgreSQL.

4. Click [

New Datastore

]

5. Proceed to the next step to restore your backup file.

Restore the backup

Restoring a previous backup automatically populates your new database, and performs any necessary upgrades to the data so that it is compatible with the current version of Universal Type Server.

Follow the instructions for restoring a backup (see Restoring a Backup on page 25). This populates your

new database with your previous data.

Your database is now converted to the new database type and ready to be used.

- 36 -

Verify database creation and connection

After you’re done restoring the backup, check the status page of the Universal Type Server, Server

Administration application to confirm that the server has stopped and restarted. This is your indication that

the datastore has been created and the server is running. See the list of External Database Error Messages below for solutions to common issues.

External Database Error Messages

If you are having problems during the creation or connection to an external SQL database, Universal Type

Server logs pertinent info to help you diagnose potential problems. This information is displayed in the

Status page of the Server Administration application, as well as included in the extensis.admin.log file.

To view server status:

1. Open your web browser and start the Server Administration application.

2. Click Status in the menu on the left to display the server status page. The status window displays the extensis.admin.log file indicating the most recent server activity.

3. Check for any error messages.

Some of the possible errors are listed in the chart below. Be sure to note any specific error messages. These are essential for proper issue diagnosis by Extensis Technical Support.

Error message

Error creating new datastore: Unable to connect to database server: Network error IOException: Connection refused: connect

Error creating new datastore: Unable to connect to database server: Login failed for user ‘username’

Potential issue

Unable to connect to the specified SQL Server

Error creating new datastore: Unable to connect to database server: Cannot open database “databasename” requested by the login. The login failed.

SQL database login authentication failure. This may happen in the case of wrong password, incorrect username, nonexistent username, or improper user permissions.

The SQL database does not exist, or was not properly created.

Configuring Automatic Failover Services

Enterprise users can configure a system to maximize server uptime. By setting up a simple failover system, you gain: l l l l

Maximum server uptime

Data consistency

Seamless client switching when needed

A failover license is included with the Enterprise installation

If the primary Type Server fails, client requests are automatically and seamlessly routed to the secondary Type

Server. End users will not be aware of any change in the system.

- 37 -

Recommended Configuration

A proxy failover configuration that is simple to set up and maintain includes the following systems: l l l l l

A primary Universal Type Server

A secondary (or backup) Universal Type Server

A proxy server

A database server

A file server for housing the Universal Type Server font vault

Note that each of these servers should have its own backup mechanism.

The first diagram shows the components and the relationship between them.

The second diagram shows how the backup Type Server takes over if the primary Type Server fails.

- 38 -

Setup

Note: All servers in this configuration need to be on the same subnet.

In the following instructions, when we refer to the applications folder, it is the folder named

“applications” located inside the Universal Type Server folder. By default, this folder would be:

Windows: C:\Program Files\Extensis\Universal Type Server\applications\

Macintosh: /Applications/Extensis/Universal Type Server/applications/

The instructions for configuring your servers are different depending on whether you are setting up your system for the first time, upgrading an existing system that uses a native database, or upgrading a system that uses an external SQL database.

Setting up for the first time

Primary Type Server

IMPORTANT

If you use Universal Type Server’s built-in backup scheduler to back up your datastore, you only need to schedule backups on the Primary Type Server.

The Type Server will be in Standby mode while the scheduled backup is running, and will return to normal access when the backup completes.

1. Install the Primary Universal Type Server. See Installation Overview on page 5.

2. Set up the Primary Type Server with the external database and external font vault. See External SQL

Database on page 30 and Moving the Vault on page 22.

3. Stop the Primary Type Server. See Stopping, Starting, and Restarting the Server on page 17.

4. Run the failover setup script on the Primary Type Server.

RETURN

, then type your administrator password.

5. Start the Primary Type Server.

Configuring the Proxy Server

The following installations and other procedures are performed on the system that will become the Proxy

Server.

1. Install the Java JDK.

To confirm that the installation is functioning, open Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (OS X) and type java -version. This should display the version number of the JDK that you just installed.

2. Create a system variable named JAVA_HOME set to the installation path of the Java JDK, then add this variable to the system PATH variable.

- 40 -

Windows:

a. Open the Control Panel, click System, then click Advanced System Settings on the left.

b. In the System Properties window, click Environment Variables.

c. Create a new System Variable and give it the name JAVA_HOME, set its value to the path to the

JDK installation folder (for example, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_80\), then click

[

]

Make sure to enter the path to the JDK files, not the JRE. Also make sure to add the trailing backslash (\) character.

d. Edit the System Variable PATH, and add the following to the end of the existing value:

;%JAVA_HOME%bin;

Important: Be sure to add to the end of the variable value; do not replace it!

e. Click [

]

in the Environment Variables window, click [

]

in System Properties, then close the Control Panel.

f. Confirm that the environment is set correctly. Open a command prompt window, type path, and press

ENTER

. The last element of the PATH variable should be the full path to the JDK bin folder (for example, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_80\bin).

Macintosh:

These instructions assume you are using TextWrangler’s (or BBEdit’s) command-line tools for editing.

a. Open Terminal.

b. Type edit .profile and press

RETURN

The .profile file in your user directory is a shell script that is run when you log in to your Mac; we will use this to set environment variables.

c. Scroll to the end of the .profile file. (This file may very well be empty.) d. Type export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_80.jdk

and press

RETURN

Be sure to use the correct path for your version of the Java JDK.

e. Type export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:${PATH} and press

RETURN

Remember that variable and path names are case sensitive!

f. Save the file and exit TextWrangler.

g. Confirm that the environment variables are set correctly. Log out from your Mac, then log back in. Open Terminal and type env.

You should see that the PATH variable now starts with the full path to the JDK bin folder, and the JAVA_HOME variable is set as expected.

3. Install Apache Tomcat.

Make a note of where you install Tomcat; you'll need to know its location in later steps.

4. Copy the file esp-proxy.war, located in the applications folder, into the Tomcat webapps folder.

5. In the Tomcat webapps folder, rename the ROOT folder to ROOT_original, then rename the file esp-proxy.war to ROOT.war.

- 41 -

6. Start the Proxy.

Windows:

a. Open a command prompt window.

b. Change to the bin directory of your Tomcat installation. Type (for example) cd "C:\Program

Files\apache-tomcat-6.0.35\bin" and press

, then type your administrator password.

7. Edit data.xml to include the IP addresses of your Primary and Secondary Type Servers.

From the Tomcat installation directory, data.xml is in /webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/config/.

a. Open data.xml in a text editor.

b. Find the lines that start with <server domainName=. Substitute the IP address for your

Primary Type Server for the text UTSserver1, and the IP address for your Secondary Type

Server for the text UTSserver2. The lines should look something like this:

If you have changed the port used for the HTTP/Web Service from the default value of 8080, then use that value in the lines above.

c. Find the line that starts with <esp-proxy. If you have changed the port used for the

HTTP/Web Service from the default value of 8080, then enter that value for the servicePort parameter. If you have changed the port used for the HTTPS/Web Service from the default value of 8443, then enter that value for the securePort parameter.

d. Save your changes and close data.xml.

8. You will need to manually replace the server start/stop script included with the Tomcat distribution.

Windows:

a. Make a backup copy of the file catalina.bat, located in Tomcat’s bin directory.

b. Locate the file catalina.bat at /webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/config/ in the Tomcat installation directory.

c. Copy this file to Tomcat’s bin directory, replacing the existing file.

Macintosh:

a. Make a backup copy of the file catalina.sh, located in Tomcat’s bin directory.

b. Locate the file catalina.sh at /webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/config/ in the Tomcat installation directory.

c. Copy this file to Tomcat’s bin directory, replacing the existing file.

d. Make the catalina.sh script executable. In a Terminal window, enter chmod 755 followed by the path to the file. Example: chmod 755 /Applications/apache-tomcat-6.0.35/bin/catalina.sh

- 42 -

9. Because the default Tomcat installation does not include an open port for secure traffic, you will need to replace the existing server.xml file with one included with Universal Type Server.

a. Make a backup copy of the Tomcat default server.xml file located in Tomcat’s conf directory.

b. Locate the server.xml file at /webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/config/ in the Tomcat installation directory.

c. Copy this file to Tomcat’s conf directory, replacing the existing file.

d. If you have changed the HTTP/Web Service port from the default value of 8080, then you will need to edit the server.xml file and change all occurrences of the text port="8080" to include the updated port value.

If you have changed the HTTPS/Web Service port from the default value of 8443, then you will need to change all occurrences of the text port="8443" and redirectPort="8443" to use the updated port value.

10. Shut down the Proxy.

Windows: Open a command prompt, switch to Tomcat’s bin directory, type shutdown, and press

ENTER

Macintosh: Open Terminal, switch to Tomcat’s bin directory, type sudo ./shutdown and press

RETURN

2. Change to Tomcat’s bin directory.

Example: cd "C:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-6.0.35\bin".

3. Type setup.bat install and press

ENTER

This installs Tomcat as a service; you will need to configure the service to start when you want it to. Run services.msc, right-click on the Tomcat service, select Properties, set the Startup Type, click [

]

, then close the Services window. You may also need to restart your server.

- 43 -

Secondary Type Server

1. Install the Secondary Type Server.

2. Stop the Secondary Type Server.

3. Run the failover setup script on the Secondary Type Server. Follow the instructions above, but change the script parameter primary to backup in the final step (type sudo ./mac-failoversetup.sh backup or win-failover-setup backup).

NOTE

If you have multiple Universal Type Servers that you are configuring with failover service, you will need to specify a unique multicast address for each pair of Primary and Backup Type Servers. For further instructions, run the failover setup scripts with no parameters (i.e., sudo ./mac-failoversetup.sh or win-failover-setup.

4. Start the Server Admin application on the Secondary Type Server.

5. Enter the same serial numbers that you used for the Primary Type Server.

6. Connect to the existing external database.

The button should be labeled [

Join Datastore

]

instead of [

New Datastore

]

7. Start the Secondary Type Server.

8. Connect to the existing external vault.

Confirm configuration

Note: This step helps you confirm that your servers are running correctly and is completely optional.

View the most recent log file to confirm that both Primary and Secondary Type Servers are running.

Log files are in the logs folder inside the Tomcat installation directory. The most recent Tomcat log file is named catalina.out.

Look near the end of the file for entries that resemble the following:

INFO: PRIMARY Universal Type Server : 192.168.0.101:8080 is up.

. . .

INFO: BACKUP Universal Type Server : 192.168.0.102:8080 is up.

Upgrading an existing native database

Your existing Universal Type Server will become your Primary Type Server.

1. Move your vault to an external location where it can be shared by your Primary and Secondary Type

Servers. See Moving the Vault on page 22 for instructions.

2. Back up your existing datastore. See Backing Up the Datastore on page 24.

3. Configure your external database. See External SQL Database on page 30.

4. Restore your datastore backup. See Restoring a Backup on page 25.

This copies your previous native database to the new SQL database.

5. Continue from step 3 under Setting up for the first time on page 40.

- 44 -

Upgrading an existing SQL database

Your existing Universal Type Server will become your Primary Type Server. These instructions assume your

SQL database resides on a separate server from your Universal Type Server.

1. Move your vault to an external location where it can be shared by your Primary and Secondary Type

Servers. See Moving the Vault on page 22 for instructions.

2. Back up your existing datastore. See Backing Up the Datastore on page 24.

This is a precautionary measure.

3. Continue from step 3 under Setting up for the first time on page 40.

Supported documents

FontLink processes InDesign documents (INDD) and templates (INDT) from InDesign CS6 and later. In order to work with FontLink, documents must be saved using the Extensis auto-activation plugin from Universal

- 47 -

Type Client version 4.0.2 or later (or Suitcase Fusion 6 v17.0.0 or later). Ensure that the Enable Font

Sense Support option is turned on for each user in the InDesign auto-activation preferences.

You can easily upgrade documents that don’t meet these requirements by opening them in a supported version of InDesign with the auto-activation plug-in, then re-saving them.

For font compliance purposes, InDesign files processed by FontLink must include fonts hosted on your

Universal Type Server. Files containing fonts not recognized by Universal Type Server will raise an error during processing.

Setting up FontLink

A FontLink installation consists of several components: l l l l

Universal Type Server

FontLink Module

Adobe InDesign Server

FontLink Connector

If your organization has an email server, FontLink can send a daily digest of completed jobs, or alert administrators to files that can’t be processed.

Order of installation

Before you can install and configure the FontLink-specific components of Universal Type Server, you need to have a working installation of Adobe InDesign Server CS6 or later, and a working installation of Universal

Type Server Enterprise Edition version 5.1 or later.

Once you have your servers running, do the following:

1. Install FontLink Connector on your InDesign Server system.

2. Create the following folders on your InDesign Server system: a folder for jobs to be processed by

FontLink (called the Input fo lder), a folder for jobs that have been processed successfully (called the

Output fo lder), and a folder where jobs that can’t be processed are sent (called the Erro rs fo lder).

Note: These folders can be created on network volumes. Due to platform-specific differences results may vary between operating systems.

3. By default, InDesign Server uses port 12345 to identify its first running instance. You can change this if necessary. If you are running multiple instances of InDesign Server, you must configure each with its own unique port number. See the InDesign Server documentation for port-specific setup instructions.

4. Install the FontLink Module on the Universal Type Server system.

5. Enter the license for the FontLink Module in the Server Admin application. See Universal Type Server

Serial Numbers on page 6.

6. Enter the details for your email server in the Server Admin application. See Configuring FontLink

notifications on page 50.

7. Connect each instance of InDesign Server in the Server Admin application. See Connecting to

InDesign Server on the next page.

Server and its corresponding FontLink Connector, you need to provide information to Universal Type Server.

To identify your InDesign Server to FontLink, click Modules in the menu on the left, then click

[

Add a Server Instance

]

Instance Name: This identifies a specific running instance of InDesign Server in logs, email digests, and l l error emails. Use a friendly and descriptive name, such as 3rd floor Production.

IP Address (with port): This is the IP address of the system that hosts the InDesign Server and FontLink

Connector. Include the specific port for the instance of InDesign Server. By default, InDesign Server runs on port 12345; see your InDesign Server documentation to change this.

Example: 123.45.67.89:12345

Input Folder: Enter the full path to the folder on the InDesign Server system where FontLink will watch for jobs to process. This folder can be local on the InDesign Server or on a network volume accessible to the InDesign Server.

Examples:

n n

D:\data\fontlink-input\ (Windows local folder)

Z:\production\fontlink-in\ (Windows remote folder; drive Z: is mapped to a network share l l l l n n or folder)

/Users/Shared/FontLink input/ (Macintosh local folder)

/Volumes/Production/FontLink in/ (Macintosh remote folder; the volume Production must be mounted on the InDesign server system)

Output Folder: Enter the full path to the folder where FontLink will place processed files.

Error Folder: Enter the full path to the folder where FontLink will move jobs that can’t be processed.

Daily Digest Notifications: Enter a comma-separated list of email addresses where you would like to send a daily digest listing jobs successfully processed by this InDesign Server instance. The daily digest is sent once a day for jobs processed during the previous 24 hours.This feature requires that you enter your network’s email server details in the FontLink Module panel.

Error Notifications: Enter a comma-separated list of email addresses where you would like to send messages about jobs that could not be processed. These messages are sent immediately.

Enter the above information and click [

Save

FontLink technical details

Ports

FontLink Module requires port 8485 and FontLink Connector requires port 8486 to be open so the two servers can communicate with each other. When Module and Connector are installed on the same server both ports must be open.

These port numbers cannot be changed, so if you have other software using either of these ports you should change the ports used by the conflicting software.

Log files

Each FontLink component records information about its startup condition and all transactions in log files.

FontLink Module log files

FontLink Module maintains two log files:

boot.log: records environment information and status when the FontLink Module starts up

Server.log: identifies JBoss and MySQL system errors and lists all jobs processed

FontLink Module log files are located on the Universal Type Server system:

Windows: C:\Program Files\Extensis\FontLinkModule\jboss\standalone\log\

Macintosh: /Applications/Extensis/FontLinkModule/jboss/standalone/log/

- 51 -

FontLink Connector log files

Command Line Administration Tool

Universal Type Server contains a command line tool that exposes a number of the functions of the Server

Administration application in command line format.

In some cases, this tool allows for more granular control of certain operations and allows these operations to be scripted.

The tool script name is esp-admin and is available in both batch (.bat) and shell script (.sh) formats for use on Windows and Macintosh operating systems, respectively.

The tool resides inside of the Universal Type Server’s applications subfolder. For example:

Windows: C:\Program Files\Extensis\Universal Type Server\applications\

Mac OS X: Applications/Extensis/Universal Type Server/applications/

NOTE

When running the esp-admin.bat using the Windows command prompt, any non-ASCII characters are displayed as question marks. This can cause issues when displaying items that allow Unicode characters, such as the

Bonjour server name.

Viewing Server Settings with the Command Line Tool

If you are unable to use the web application to initially open the Server Administration application, you can use the command line tool to view pertinent server settings. This can happen if you are installing onto a headless server, and there is a port conflict with the default Server Administration port.

To view server settings with the command line tool on Windows:

1. Open a Command Prompt window.

Click Start > Run, type cmd, and press Enter.

2. At the command prompt enter: cd C:\Program Files\Extensis\Universal Type Server\applications\

3. Enter the following command to list server settings: esp-admin -username administrator -password password -getserversettings

NOTE

If you have changed the default administrator password, enter it after

-password in the command.

To view the server settings with the command line tool on Mac OS X:

1. Start the Terminal application located in the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder.

2. At the prompt, enter: cd "/Applications/Extensis/Universal Type Server/applications/"

3. Enter the following command to list server settings: sudo ./esp-admin.sh -username administrator -password password

-getserversettings

The server lists a number of important server settings, including repository location, backup location, and the ports currently in use. The port listed after esp.port.admin-web-app= is the port currently in use for the

Server Administration application.

- 53 -

Properties Files

Many commands require the inclusion of data in a “properties” file to function properly. These files are basically lists of options and the selected values for those options.

Properties files must be saved as standard ASCII text files, and cannot include any high ASCII characters.

The following is an example of the contents of a properties file.

esp.backup.location=C://backups/ esp.backup.filename=mybackup.tar

esp.option.backup.stayinquiescentmode=false

Note: Paths in the properties file must be specified differently than they are in Windows. Use the form <drive_ letter>://<folder>/<folder>/<file>; for example, C://backups/ or

C://Program Files/Extensis/Universal Type Server/data/vault.

Properties files are used with the following commands:

backupdatastore (see backupdatastore on the next page.)

createdatastore (see createdatastore on page 57.)

moverepository (see moverepository on page 61.) restoredatastore (see restoredatastore on page 61.)

Specifying a Username and Password

Almost every command line operation requires the addition of a username and password that has administrative privileges.

The username and password can be specified in the command line each time a command is executed, or it can be specified as an environment variable.

The two environment variables that can be set are: l

ESP_ADMIN_USER, which by default is set to the value administrator, the Server Administrator l username; and

ESP_ADMIN_PW, which by default is set to the value password, the default Server Administrator password.

The following is an example of specifying the username and password in the Windows command line when adding a serial number: esp-admin ESP_ADMIN_USER ESP_ADMIN_PW -addserialnumber XXXX-1234-ABCD-EFGH-

IJKL-MNOP

For assistance setting environment variables, see the documentation for your operating system.
