HP-UX AAA Server A.08.02.10 Administrator's Guide HP-UX 11i v3 (T1428-90093, November 2013)

IMPORTANT: When started by the inetd service, radiusd times out if it does not receive a
message in 15 minutes. With the -t Timeout option, you can override this value. If the value is
set to 0, it waits indefinitely without timing out.
Configuring the HP-UX AAA Server to Start Automatically Upon System Reboot
You can configure the HP-UX AAA Server (radiusd) and RMI objects to start automatically after
a system reboot.
• Set the RADIUSD variable in/etc/rc.config.d/radiusd.conf to 1. The default setting
is 0.
CAUTION: Modifying the content in the /sbin/init.d/radiusd.rc file other than
radiusd options can disallow booting of the system.
NOTE: You can also start the Server Manager interface after reboot. In the /etc/
rc.config.d/hpws22_tomcatconf file, set HPWS22_TOMCAT_START to 1, and set
JAVA_HOME to/opt/java6.
Stopping or Restarting HP-UX AAA Servers
You must stop or restart AAA servers to update configuration changes. To avoid entering the
configuration values every time an instance must be started or stopped, the HP-UX AAA Server
Admin Tool is provided. The HP-UX AAA Server Admin Tool simplifies the start and stop tasks.
Therefore, it is recommended that you use the HP-UX AAA Server Admin Tool to start or stop an
instance using CLI.
CAUTION: Do not stop a live server in production as it interrupts services to users.
Using Server Manager
1. From the navigation tree, click Administration.
2. Select the servers you want to stop in the Server Status frame.
NOTE: Server commands will only be executed on servers selected in the Server Status
frame.
3. Click Stop.
A message prompt enables you to confirm whether you wish to stop the server. If the server cannot
be stopped, the administrator is notified of the problem in the message frame.
From the Command Line
To stop radiusd, enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# kill -9 `cat /var/opt/aaa/run/radiusd.pid|awk '{print$1}'`
To restart radiusd, enter the following command at the prompt:
# kill -9 `cat /var/opt/aaa/run/radiusd.pid|awk '{print$1}'` \
;/opt/aaa/bin/radiusd
Adding an HP-UX AAA Server to Your Network
Multiple servers can be configured and run using the AAA Server Manager graphic interface. You
must establish at least one connection before you begin configuration. Only one connection can
be local to the Server Manager program.
