• We run quimeraps_server with administrator privileges.

Using reports: The reports must be located:

• (Linux) /opt/quimeraPS/reports
• (Windows) ...\ProgramFiles\quimeraPS\reports

Registration of models and printer. For easy management of models and printers, quimeraps_client has been provided, which allows visually mapping existing printers and models with aliases recognized by the client.

The log can be found in:

• (Linux) /var/log/quimeraps.log
• (Windows) ...\ProgramFiles\quimeraPS\quimera.log

You can enable the use of chimeraps with ssl as follows:

Inside the chimeraPS folder, we create the cert folder and add the ssl.cert and ssl.key files. If the ssl.key file does not exist, an adhoc ssl connection will be created.

Instructions for generating certificate and ssl password.

$ openssl genrsa 2048 > ssl.key $ openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 365 -key ssl.key > ssl.cert
