Additional configuration information

Note: During the upgrade, vasd reloads and updates its user and group cache. To restart the Safeguard Authentication Services caching service, see Restarting services.

Note: If you are using the licensed version of the Safeguard Authentication Services agent earlier than 3.0, see Licensing Safeguard Authentication Services for licensing instructions.

Note: Oracle Solaris: The -a vasclient-defaults option specifies an alternative default file for pkgadd administrative options that allows pkgadd to overwrite an existing package with a new package.

pkgadd does not support the concept of upgrading a package, so this allows you to upgrade without having to rejoin your machine to the Active Directory domain, or uninstalling the old version first.

Note: HP-UX: Reboot the HP-UX machine to ensure that all of the new files are installed. HP-UX does not allow you to overwrite files that are in use—this is done as part of the boot sequence.

Restarting services

  1. The method for restarting services varies by platform:
    1. To restart Safeguard Authentication Services on Linux or Oracle Solaris, enter:
      /etc/init.d/vasd restart
    2. To restart Safeguard Authentication Services on HP-UX, enter:
      /sbin/init.d/vasd restart
    3. To restart Safeguard Authentication Services on AIX, enter:
      stopsrc -s vasd
startsrc -s vasd

Note: Due to library changes between the Safeguard Authentication Services 4.1 and 4.2, the system may need to be rebooted before all processes load the new libraries.

Uninstalling the agent packages

To uninstall the Safeguard Authentication Services agent packages

  1. Log in and open a root shell.
  2. Run the following commands to remove the packages.

    See Additional configuration information that follows the table.

    Table 31: Agent uninstall commands
    Package Command
    RPM # rpm -e vasclnt
    DEB # dpkg -r vaslcnt
    Oracle Solaris # pkgrm vasclnt
    HP-UX # swremove vasclnt
    AIX # installp -u vasclnt
    macOS

    /<mount>/Uninstall.app/Contents/MacOS/Uninstall' --console --force vasclnt

    FreeBDS

    pkg delete <package name>

Additional configuration information
  • Linux: The rpm –e vasclnt and the dpkg -r vaslcnt commands run scripts that halt the daemon, unconfigure Safeguard Authentication Services, flush, and delete the Safeguard Authentication Services cache before finally removing the files.
  • HP-UX: The swremove vasclnt command does not clean up the empty directories that the vasclnt package used. In order to clean these up, manually remove the /opt/quest directory after you uninstall.

Oracle Solaris 10 zones/containers support

Zones (or containers) were introduced in Oracle Solaris 10. Zones is a partitioning technology used to virtualize operating system services and provide an isolated and secure environment for running applications. There are two types of non-global zone root filesystem models:

  • sparse root
  • whole root

The sparse root zone model optimizes the sharing of objects while the whole root zone model provides the maximum configurability. Additional information on Oracle Solaris 10 and Zones can be found at www.sun.com.
