findface-ntls

The findface-ntls service is to be installed on a designated host to verify the FindFace license. For verification purposes, findface-ntls uses one of the following sources:

  • Ntech Lab global license center if you opt for the online licensing, direct or via a proxy server.

  • USB dongle if you opt for the on-premise licensing.

Use the main web interface to manage findface-ntls:

  • view the list of purchased features,

  • view license limitations,

  • upload a license file,

  • view the list of currently active components.

The following components are licensable:

  • findface-tarantool-server,

  • findface-extraction-api,

  • findface-video-manager,

  • findface-video-worker.

Important

After connection between findface-ntls and a licensable component, or between findface-ntls and the global license server is broken, you will have 6 hours to restore it before the licensable components will be automatically stopped.

The findface-ntls configuration is done through a configuration file /etc/findface-ntls.cfg.

# Listen address of NTLS server where services will connect to.
# The format is IP:PORT
# Use 0.0.0.0:PORT to listen on all interfaces
# This parameter is mandatory and may occur multiple times
# if you need to listen on several specific interfaces or ports.
listen = 127.0.0.1:3133


# Directory with license files.
# NTLS use most recently generated one.
# Note: "recentness" of a license file is detected not by
#       mtime/ctime but from its internal structure.
#
# This parameter is mandatory and must occur exactly once.
license-dir = /opt/ntech/license

# You can specify proxy which NTLS will use to access
# global license server. The syntax is the same that is used by curl.
# Proxy is optional
#proxy = http://192.168.1.1:12345

# This is bind address for NTLS web-interface.
# Note: there're no authorization or access restriction mechanisms
#       in NTLS UI. If you need one, consider using nginx as proxy
#       with .htaccess / ip-based ACLs.
# This parameter may be specified multiple times.
ui = 127.0.0.1:3185
