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 SafeNet Authentication Service Private Cloud Edition (SAS PCE), if the RADIUS Client API is accessible and FreeRADIUS Synchronization is enabled, the Auth Nodes from SAS PCE 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, 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.
