Java Run-Time Environment 

The Server Manager can be accessed from any workstation with a browser and the Java Run-

Time Environment (JRE) installed. The JRE is required to run applets that are part of the Server 

Manager graphical user interface. Download and install the JRE on each machine you will use as 

an administrator workstation.  You can download the JRE from:

/http://www.java.com/downloads/

Upgrading

Version 7.1.0 of the AAA Server software converts most previously installed binary and 

configuration files to version 7.1.0 formats during the installation process. You no longer need to 

uninstall the software prior to upgrading. To take advantage of this feature, you must install all 

files into the same directories as your previous installation.

Note

: When converting, you don’t have to perform a preliminary backup of configurations. The AAA Server 

installer automatically backs up your current configuration files to the subdirectory 

backup_raddb.

timestamp

 in the configuration file directory.

If you’re converting from a version earlier than 6.0.x, check the conversion of your 

vendors

dictionary

, and 

.fsm

 files. In some cases, these may need to be manually updated to include 

7.1.0 content.

Finite State Machine (.fsm) files that have been modified from the installation default are not 

converted with the 7.1.0 installation. These files must be manually recreated in the 7.1.0 file 

format after installing the server.

Customizations

If you created custom plug-ins for your AAA Server, you’ll have to recompile them in version 

7.1.0 of the Authentication-API (formerly SDK) to make them compatible with version 7.1.0 of 

the server.

Before Installing

1

Stop the server, Remote Control, and Server Manager programs.

2

If you choose to uninstall rather than convert files:

Back up accounting and log files.

Back up configuration files.

Run 

raduninstall

 (in 

/opt/aaa/uninstall 

by default) to remove the original files.

Manually delete the remaining files.

After Installing

1

If you have modified your state table (.fsm) files you will need to re-make your changes you 

made since your previous installation.
