Session Manager installation checklist Authentication files for Session Manager Note: Beginning with Session Manager 6.2, you must create and install an authentication file. The authentication file contains Access Security Gateway (ASG) keys. With the ASG keys, Avaya Services can securely gain access to the customer system. A default authentication file is installed with Session Manager. You must replace the default file using the Authentication File System (AFS) to create a unique authentication file. AFS is an online application available at RFA. AFS authentication files have a plain text XML header with encrypted authentication data. Each authentication file contains an authentication file ID (AFID) to identify the file. You need the AFID to create a new authentication file for an upgrade or to replace the current authentication file on the server. Note: You must install the unique authentication file. Failure to install the unique authentication file results in receiving an alarm that retransmits once a day until you install the authentication file. Starting the AFS application Before you begin AFS is available only to Avaya service personnel and Avaya Partners. If you are a customer and need an authentication file, contact Avaya or your authorized Avaya Partner. You must have a login ID and password to start the AFS application. You can sign up for a login at http://rfa.avaya.com. 1. Enter http://rfa.avaya.com in your Web browser. 2. Enter your login information and click Submit. 3. Click Start the AFS Application. A security message is displayed. 4. Click I agree. The AFS application starts. Creating an authentication file for a Session Manager To acquire an authentication file, use one of the following options: Download the authentication file directly from AFS. Receive the authentication file in an email. November 2014 Deploying Avaya Aura Session Manager Release 6.3 27

Deploying Session Manager 1. Log in to AFS. 2. In the Product field, select SM Session Manager. 3. In the Release field, select the software release number, then click Next. 4. Select New System, then click Next. 5. If you want to download the authentication file directly from AFS to your computer: a. Click Download file to my PC. b. Click Save in the File Download dialog box. c. Select the location where you want to save the authentication file, and then click Save. d. Click Close in the Download complete dialog box to complete the download. After AFS creates the authentication file, AFS displays a confirmation message that contains the system type, release, and authentication file ID (AFID). 6. To receive the authentication file in an email message: a. Enter the email address in the Email Address field. b. Click Download file via email. AFS sends the email message that includes the authentication file as an attachment and the AFID, system type, and release in the message text. c. Save the authentication file to a location on the computer of the email recipient. 7. To view the header information in the authentication file: a. Locate the saved file. b. Open the file with WordPad. The header includes the AFID, product name and release number, and the date and time that AFS generated the authentication file. Installing an authentication file 1. Log in to the Session Manager server using the customer login. 2. Enter echo $HOME. 3. Using WinSCP or some other file transfer program, transfer the authentication file to the Session Manager server into the directory represented by $HOME. 4. Load the authentication file manually using the loadpwd command. For example: loadpwd -l <path to the auth file>. 5. Use the displaypwd command to display information about the currently loaded authentication file. 28 Deploying Avaya Aura Session Manager Release 6.3 November 2014

Session Manager installation checklist Installing Session Manager in a geographic redundancy enabled system Before you begin In a Geographic Redundancy-enabled system, verify the two standalone System Manager servers that you are designating as the primary and secondary servers: Are supported servers. Have the same hardware configuration. Are running the same version of System Manager software including the template, service packs, and patches. Have the same version of the System Platform software, including service packs. Can communicate with each other over the network. Have synchronized network time. For System Manager installation information, see Deploying Avaya Aura System Manager on System Platform and Deploying Avaya Aura System Manager on VMware in Virtualized Environment. For the procedures related to initial administration and the setup of the Geographic Redundancyenabled system, see the chapter Session Manager in a geographically redundant System Manager environment in Administering Avaya Aura Session Manager. High-level steps for the installation Result 1. Install or upgrade the primary System Manager standalone server with System Manager 6.3 software. 2. Install the secondary System Manager. 3. Configure both System Manager servers for the Geographic Redundancy operation. 4. Replicate the primary System Manager data to the secondary System Manager. 5. Install or upgrade the Session Manager server with Session Manager Release 6.3 software. Use the configuration information from the Session Manager 6. Synchronize System Manager data with the Communication Manager system. The installation system updates are as follows: 1. The installation steps establish trust between the System Manager and Session Manager in the normal manner. 2. The system performs the first set of replications including the FQDN and IP addresses of both System Managers. November 2014 Deploying Avaya Aura Session Manager Release 6.3 29

Deploying Session Manager 3. The Session Manager detects the two sets of FQDNs and IP addresses of both System Managers and automatically reconfigures the System Managers to the Geographic Redundancy mode. 4. Session Manager queries both System Manager servers and determines the master server. 5. After the Session Manager automatically reconfigures the System Manager servers, the system operates in the Sunny Day Geographic Redundancy mode. Note: If the primary System Manager is off the network and the secondary System Manager is active, you can install Session Manager 6.3 using the following commands: 1. On the Session Manager CLI, enter the command dnat_failover.sh MASTER_SMGR_IP, where MASTER_SMGR_IP is the IP address of the secondary System Manager. 2. Run the command inittm. Geographic Redundancy system verification Perform this verification procedure after you install or upgrade the system. 1. On the secondary System Manager, verify the primary System Manager is running in the Active mode. 2. On the primary System Manager, verify the secondary System Manager is running in the Standby mode. 30 Deploying Avaya Aura Session Manager Release 6.3 November 2014
