Steel Belted Radius Carrier 7.0 Installation Guide > Installing SBR Software > Running the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier configure Script

Running the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier configure Script

  1. Navigate to the directory where you installed the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier package in Extract the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier installation package.. In that example, the directory is /opt/JNPRsbr.
    2. # cd /opt/JNPRsbr/radius/install/
  2. Execute the configure script to install the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server software:
    3. # ./configure
  3. Review the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier license agreement.

Press the spacebar to move from one page to the next. When you are prompted to accept the terms of the license agreement, enter y.

Do you accept the terms in the license agreement? [n] y
  1. Enter a license key for your Steel-Belted Radius Carrier software.
    2. You can enter a license string or use a one-time 30 day trial license.

    Would you like to enter a license string? [n]

    Installed a 30 day evaluation license.

5.4, 6.0, 6.1

  1. Enter the type of installation.

The system prompts for the type of installation, either a new installation or a migration from a SIM Server 5.4 or 6.x SBR server:

Please enter backup or radius directory from which to migrate.

Enter n for new configuration, s to search, or q to quit

[/opt/JNPRsbr/5_4backup]:


NOTE: Steel-Belted Radius Carrier Release 7.0 supports importing a previous version's configuration files only from SIM Server 5.4 and SBR 6.0 and 6.1.

If you select this option, remember that some files require manual editing and updating after installation. This is discussed in Migrating Files from Earlier Releases.

  1. For most installations, do not remove older versions of Steel-Belted Radius Carrier.
    2. WARNING: Now is the best time to remove any pre-existing versions of the 
software, as doing so later may destroy certain shared OS resources, such as 
/etc/init.d scripts in particular, that are about to be configured. Obsolete 
patches may also be removed.

    Manually remove pre-existing software now? [y]:

Only answer y if a working installation already exists on the server proper — a copy of an installation or one on a different server that is an NFS mount can be ignored. If you respond with y, the script terminates so you can back up and remove the previous version.

If you do need to remove an existing installation, refer to that release's documentation for instructions.

  1. Specify the login name of the initial Steel-Belted Radius Carrier administrator.

The account information you enter is the default login account for the SBR Administrator. You must use this account name the first time you log into the SBR Administrator.

Enter initial admin user (account must have an associated password) [root]:







 CAUTION: Make sure the login account you specify has a password. If you specify a user without a password as the administrator, you will not be able to log into the SBR Administrator.
  1. Specify whether you want to set up the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server as a primary server (p), a replica server (r), or a standalone RADIUS server (sa).
    2. Configure SBR server as primary (p), replica (r), or standalone (sa) [sa]:

5.4, 6.0, 6.1







 NOTE: If you are migrating from a previous release, you may only select a server type that matches the old existing server.

If appropriate, enter y when you are asked whether you are migrating a primary server. Doing so tells the installer to preserve the server's replication realm information.

Enter y if you are prompted to indicate asked whether you are migrating a replica server. Doing so causes the installer to preserve the replica server's replication settings.

LDAP

  1. Specify whether you want to configure Steel-Belted Radius Carrier to use an external LDAP data service.

To accept the default path (/usr/lib), press Enter.

Oracle

  1. Specify whether you want to configure Steel-Belted Radius Carrier to access an Oracle database.


NOTE: If the server has already been set up with an Oracle client (in Setting Up External Database Connectivity), answer y.

If the server will use the jdbc/odbc driver, answer n.

 

Configuring for use with generic database

Do you want to configure for use with Oracle? [n]:
  1. Specify whether you want the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server to communicate with an SS7 system.
    2. Do you want to configure for use with SS7? [n]: y

    Configuring for use with SS7

    Setting the environment variable OMNI_HOME

    Enter OMNI_HOME []: /opt/ulcm

SNMP

  1. Specify whether you want the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server to be an SNMP agent.
    2. Do you want to configure SNMP? [n]:
  1. Provide the community string.
    2. Choose a community string: public
  2. When you are prompted for a range of IPv4 addresses, specify a starting IP address in Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) format.
  1. If you are using SNMPv2, enter the DNS name or IP address of the trap sink to receive trap information from the SNMP agent on the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server.
    2. SNMPv2 trap sink: 192.168.70.86

    Configuration of SNMP complete.

RSA

  1. Specify whether you want to register your Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server as an Agent Host with RSA Authentication Manager.
    2. Do you want to register SBR with an RSA server (requires RSA Auth Manager 
6.1 or later)? [n]: 

    

    

    

     NOTE: When you register your Steel-Belted Radius Carrier master or replica server as an Agent Host with an RSA SecurID server, it registers itself as an RSA replica. This is normal behavior.
  2. Specify whether you want to configure the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server to autoboot (restart automatically when the operating system is restarted).
    3. Enable (e), disable (d), or preserve (p) RADIUS autoboot [e]: e

Steel-Belted Radius Carrier stores its autoboot settings in the local \radiusdir\radius\sbrd file.

When you finish entering settings, the script configures Steel-Belted Radius Carrier with the settings you specified and then displays:

The SBR Administrator can be launched using the following URL:

http://<servername>:1812
