How to Update Realm Configuration
The following information explains when a HUP signal is sufficient, or insufficient, for updating realm configuration:
- A HUP signal is sufficient to load any changes that you make to proxy.ini, filter.ini, or *.pro files for the purpose of configuring proxy RADIUS realms.
- However, when you configure directed realms (proxy.ini, *.dir files, and possibly *.acc, *.aut, and accounting *.ini files as well) you must load configuration changes as follows. If you have added or changed:
- Any directed accounting methods at all, you must stop and restart the server.
- Directed authentication methods in which external database (SQL or LDAP) authentication is used, you must stop and restart the server.
- Directed authentication methods in which local or pass-through (Local, UNIX, Domain, Host, or SecurID) authentication is used, a HUP signal is sufficient.
For information on stopping and starting the server see Appendix A, "When and How to Stop and Restart Steel-Belted Radius Carrier" on page 793.
