How To: Upgrade the SecureAuth RADIUS Server

Version Affected: 19.x and later

 

Overview

Over time, the SecureAuth RADIUS server gains additional functionality, fixes, and other updates -- upgrading keeps a deployment current with those changes.

Upgrade the SecureAuth RADIUS Server

1. Browse to the installation folder of the current RADIUS server and back up appliance.radius.properties. On newer installations, it's in C:\Program Files\SecureAuth Corporation\SecureAuth IdP RADIUS agent\bin\conf\appliance.radius.properties.
2. Download the latest RADIUS Server installer from SecureAuth Product Downloads, under Infrastructure Add-ons.
3. Right-click the downloaded installer, select Properties, and make sure Unblock isn't shown in the lower right corner. If it is, check the box and select Apply to unblock the installer.
4. Run the installer -- it detects the current version and performs an in-place upgrade.

If issues come up after the upgrade, contact SecureAuth Support by opening a ticket.

Special Considerations

Take a snapshot before upgrading any SecureAuth appliance or related software, in case a rollback is needed.
