7.3 Installing the Key for the High-Bandwidth SSL VPN

Customers who are eligible to install the high bandwidth SSL VPN can install the key for the high bandwidth SSL VPN after they get the export clearance. This key is installed only once. There is no need to upgrade the RPM every time the servlet and the server RPMs for SSL VPN are upgraded. In the previous releases, you needed to upgrade the high bandwidth RPMs every time the SSL VPN server and servlet RPMs were upgraded. With Access Manager 3.1 or later, you install the key once and can upgrade to new versions without installing the key again.

You must install the high bandwidth SSL VPN if you want to cluster the SSL VPN servers.

To install the RPM:

  1. After you have ordered the high bandwidth version, log in to the Novell Customer Center and look for the link that allows you to download the RPM containing key for the high bandwidth version.

  2. Download the following high bandwidth RPM:

    novl-sslvpn-hb-key-3.2-0.noarch.rpm

  3. Log in as root.

  4. Enter the following command to stop all services:

    /etc/init.d/novell-sslvpn stop OR rcnovell-sslvpn stop

  5. Enter the following command to install the RPM for the high bandwidth version of SSL VPN:

    rpm -ivh novl-sslvpn-hb-key-3.2.0-0.noarch.rpm

  6. Enter the following command to restart all SSL VPN services:

    /etc/init.d/novell-sslvpn start OR rcnovell-sslvpn start

  7. Enter the following command to check the status:

    /etc/init.d/novell-sslvpn status OR rcnovell-sslvpn status
