NAME

       landscape-config - configure the Landscape management client

SYNOPSIS

       landscape-config [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Before  using  the  landscape-client  it must be configured with account and computer information that is
       transmitted to the Landscape server when the client connects. The registration can be performed  with  or
       without user interaction.

       Running  the  landscape-config  program  without  arguments will start the program, prompting you for the
       necessary information to run the client.  Optionally you can  provide  command-line  arguments  (detailed
       below) to specify default responses.

       You  will  be  told  if  the  registration  was successful or if an error occurred.  When registration is
       successful Landscape is configured and running on your system. Errors can occur if you provide  incorrect
       registration  details  or if there are network issues. In the latter case, the client will keep trying to
       complete the registration in the background.

CLOUD

       Landscape  has some cloud features that become available when the EC2 or UEC machine instance was started
       using Landscape and the AMI is one of the official ones provided in the Web user interface. We call these
       instances "Landscape enabled", because they contain a pre-configured landscape-client installed  in  them
       which will register the running instance automatically with Landscape as soon as it starts up.

       You  can deploy your own AMI, but if you wish the instance to become "Landscape managed" you need to take
       a few steps:

       •  make sure the cloud is created in Landscape

       •  add "CLOUD=1" to /etc/default/landscape-client

       •  make sure the client is configured to start at boot (i.e., the /etc/default/landscape-client  has  the
          line "RUN=1")

       There is no need to further configure the /etc/landscape/client.conf file with details such as account or
       key, because when in cloud mode this is all discovered by the client itself.

       You can avoid this all if you just re-bundle the AMIs we provide.  landscape-client is already configured
       and prepared for the cloud in them.

EXAMPLES

       Register  a  machine  for  the  first  time, or reconfigure an already registered machine, interactively.
       Command line parameters suppress interaction for provided values.

         landscape-config

       Register a machine for the first time, or reconfigure an already registered  machine,  without  requiring
       user interaction. The client will be configured to start on boot automatically:

         landscape-config --silent -a account-name -p secret -t `hostname`

       Register a machine with the script execution plugin enabled, without requiring user interaction:

         landscape-config --silent -a account-name -p secret -t `hostname` --script-users nobody,landscape,root

       Register a machine with some tags:

         landscape-config --silent -a account-name -p secret -t `hostname` --tags=server,www

       To disable a client, stopping current instances and disabling start at bootup:

         landscape-config --disable
