1. Configure the Ubuntu Pro Client by editing the contract_url setting in /etc/ubuntu-advantage/uaclient.conf to point to the server:

   Code Block
   echo \'contract_url: http://vss-ubuntu-pro.eis.utoronto.ca:8484 $(vmware-rpctool "info-get guestinfo.ut.vss.ubuntu_pro.endpoint")\' > /etc/ubuntu-advantage/uaclient.conf

2. Check everything works fine with the following command:

   Code Block
   pro refresh

   output:

   Code Block
   Successfully processed your pro configuration. This machine is not attached to an Ubuntu Pro subscription. See https://ubuntu.com/pro

3. Attach your token:

   Code Block
   pro attach [TOKEN]$(vmware-rpctool "info-get guestinfo.ut.vss.ubuntu_pro")

   output:

   Code Block

2. Configure the on-prem server

   Code Block
   canonical-livepatch config remote-server="http://vss-ubuntu-pro.eis.utoronto.ca:8080/"'$(vmware-rpctool "info-get guestinfo.ut.vss.ubuntu_pro.livepatch.endpoint")'

3. Verify configuration

   Code Block
   canonical-livepatch config

   output:

   Code Block

4. Enable the Livepatch updates with the token

   Code Block
   canonical-livepatch enable <TOKEN_ON_VSS> $(vmware-rpctool "info-get guestinfo.ut.vss.ubuntu_pro.livepatch.token")
