Install radius on cluster

[Tomas Helsén_1]

we have installed AAA server on Itanium HP-UX 11i v2. Now we are trying to configure this for cluster environment. However, we can't find any iformation about this. Anyone who has done this?

I think the issue is to locate which files that are to be stored in the "package filesystem" so the AAA server can start on an other node with identical conf.

Hi,

Below are the location where most of the configuration and binaries are stored.

/etc/opt/aaa
/var/opt/aaa
/opt/aaa


You may have to consider converiting these directories to seperate file systems and configure in a MC/SG 2 node package.

The aaa admin guide is available at
http://docs.hp.com/en/T1428-90044/T1428-90044.pdf

Please refer for more info.

Thanks,
BL.

/var/opt/aaa/ contains the logfile and accounting files.
/etc/opt/aaa contains the configuration files

/opt/aaa contains runtime binary files. If you are using GUI there will be some administration trace files also in /opt/aaa/remotecontrol dir.

/opt/hpws/tomcat/webapps/aaa directory contains the GUI// Java files..

I would suggest if you are using a two node service guard cluster. Install product on both the host and use shared disk for /var/opt/aaa/ /etc/opt/aaa.
Then,
Make sure you have configured the GUI password in /opt/aaa/remotecontrol and /opt/hpws/tomcat/webapps/aaa the same on both nodes.

This should work..let us know if not.

Best Regards

Hi, thanks for the information.

I solved the installation part in the following way:

1. I created 3 logical volumes that the "package" mount as /etc/opt/aaa, /opt/aaa and /var/opt/aaa.
I copied the files that were added in tomcat to the other node. Everything seems to work as it should.

Questions to be solved is now how to add a user that can login with "only" name?
As it works now I have to login wiht name@system.com

Any one know how to fix this?
