2

Log into the Replica RADIUS Server as

root

(Solaris/Linux) or

administrator (Windows).

3

Navigate to the

..RSA Radius\Service

(Windows) or

/opt/rsa/radius (Solaris/Linux)

directory.

4

Run the

rsainstalltool

(Windows) or

rsaconfiguretool

(Solaris/Linux) utility with the

identity

option and information on where

to download configuration information.

To obtain configuration from a configuration package, issue the following
command:

# ./rsaconfiguretool -identity REPLICA -reppkg pathname

where

pathname

specifies the path to a

replica.ccmpkg

package.

To obtain configuration from the Primary RADIUS Server for the realm,
issue the following command:

# ./rsaconfiguretool -identity REPLICA -primary name

address secret

where

name

specifies the DNS name of the Primary RADIUS Server,

address

specifies the IP address of the Primary RADIUS Server, and

secret

specifies the shared secret used to authenticate configuration

downloads.

Restart the updated Replica RADIUS Server so that it can load its new
configuration.

After the Replica RADIUS Server is restarted, it will be re-synchronized with the
current Primary RADIUS Server.
