Initial Configuration
Use this procedure to enable authentication through the LDAP directories. The SDX application requires that the LDAP be enabled as an external database. The LDAP host is used for authentication purposes.
Note: The LDAP is not required for integration with just the E-series router.![]()
To enable an LDAP host as an external database used by Steel-Belted Radius/SPE.
- Log in as root.
- Return to the working directory (directory where the installation files were originally copied; for example, /tmp/funk).
- Unconfigure the initial configuration of Steel-Belted Radius/SPE by running install.sh script with the -unconfig option. The server directory must be entered.
# sh install.sh -unconfigEnter server directory [<working-directory>/radius]: /opt/UMC/SPERemoving /etc/rc2.d/S90radius /etc/rc2.d/K90radiusRemoving RADIUS entries from /etc/servicesRemoving RADIUS entries from /etc/inetd.confkill -HUP 124Unconfig completed.
- Configure Steel-Belted Radius/SPE with the external database by executing install.sh with the -config option. The server directory must be entered again. In addition, LDAP must be selected as the external database, and the path /opt/UMC/SPE must be entered where the LDAP libraries are located. In the following example, no SNMP support is configured (see the Steel-Belted Radius/SPE manuals for more information about SNMP support).
