DualShield Radius Server Installation on Linux

A console installation of DualShield Radius Server is quite similar to the installation of DualShield.




Specify the installation path, here we use /opt/dualradius, you can use other folder, but be sure not the folder we have used to install the DualShield Server.



Set the administration, authentication, accounting ports, and radius server FQDN



This step produces some agent data which you need to pass it to the DualShield administrator.



The administrator uses the agent data to register a RADIUS server agent.



After registration, he can download the agent configuration file(*.dsc) and pass it back to you.



This step asks you where the agent configuration file is, so make sure you have copied the file to the server where DualRadius is being installed and given the correct path.



Now, the installer will do the real jobs – copy files and configure services etc. If you see the following output, then congratulations! You have installed DualRadius successfully.





If you still doubt, then try to list the processes by

ps aux | grep jsvc

You should see the similar ones like the following



Sometime you may need to reinstall this product, I strong recommend you should remove the existing one first. You can find the shell script “removedualradius.sh” in the sub folder “tools”, check the details for what it tries to do.
