Manual client updater

CRUD Script

This section describes how to manually create, update, delete and view the RADIUS Client using the C – Create, U – Update, D – Delete, V – View (Client_Updater script).

Execute the ./Client_Updater from the package. The following steps detail the flow for the components it checks, and the inputs it prompts for, before completing a CRUD operation.

Note

In case of SAS PCE/SPE, if the RADIUS Client API is accessible and FreeRADIUS Synchronization is enabled, the Auth Nodes from SAS PCE/SPE server get updated to the FreeRADIUS server.
On the other hand, for SafeNet Trusted Access (STA), or if FreeRADIUS Synchronization is not used with SAS PCE/SPE, the Auth Nodes from STA do not get updated to the FreeRADIUS server. All entries have to be done manually using the Client_Updater script.
