Publishing Server Configuration Information

If you change the configuration of your Primary RADIUS Server, you must
publish the modified configuration so that your Replica RADIUS Servers can
download the modified settings.

To publish server configuration information:

1

Open the Replication panel.

2

Click the

Publish

button on the toolbar.

This creates a file called

../rsa radius/packages/timestamp_RSA.ccmpkg

(Solaris/Linux)

or

..\RSA Radius\Service\packages\timestamp_RSA.ccmpkg

(Windows), where

timestamp

reflects the date and time the package was

created.

Notifying Replica RADIUS Servers

A network administrator can manually notify a Replica RADIUS Server to
download and install the current configuration package from the Primary
RADIUS Server. Manual notification is useful when network issues prevent the
automatic download and installation of a configuration package when it is first
published, and the configuration on the Replica no longer matches the
configuration on the Primary RADIUS Server.

To notify Replica RADIUS Servers that new configuration information has been
published:

1

Open the Replication panel.

2

Select the Replica RADIUS Server you want to notify.

3

Click the

Notify

button on the toolbar.

The Replica RADIUS Server downloads and installs its configuration
package from the Primary RADIUS Server. After the package is installed, the
Replica RADIUS Server is resynchronized with the Primary RADIUS Server.
