TITLE: PMREADPASS 
DATE: August 26, 1999 

SUMMARY: 

The Lucent PMreadpass (TM) utility runs on a UNIX platform from a shell that transfers the user profile table on the PortMaster to a text RADIUS users file on the UNIX host in a form that Lucent RADIUS uses. PMreadpass uses Transmision Control Protocol (TCP) port 1643. 

SYNTAX 

Command> pmreadpass [PortMaster name] [PortMaster password]
           [users filename]
  • PortMaster name - is the host name or IP address of the PortMaster. 
  • PortMaster password - is the !root password for the PortMaster 
  • users filename - is the name of the text/ascii file that is created by pmreadpass utility holding all the user profiles in a RADIUS format. 

TITLE: Installing the PMconsole software suite to a UNIX host. 
DATE: August 25, 1996 

SUMMARY: 

This shows how to download and install the PMconsole software suite to a UNIX host. The suite comes with: 

  • Lucent PMinstall (TM) used to install the software suite and other programs such as Lucent RADIUS (TM). 
  • Lucent PMcommand (TM) used to send over batches of commands to a PortMaster. 
  • Lucent PMconsole (TM)  used to administrate PortMaster products. 
  • Lucent PMdial (TM) used to make connections to be initiated by the PortMaster from a host on the network. 
  • Lucent PMreadconf (TM) used to backup PortMaster configuration 
  • Lucent PMreadpass (TM) used to read a user table from a PortMaster and convert it to a RADIUS users file 
  • PMreset allows the system administrator to reset any or all ports on the Portmaster from a remote host. 

QUICK STEPS: 

  1. Create a directory on UNIX host to store software suite. 
  2. Connect to the Lucent FTP site and download the compressed software. 
  3. Decompress the downloaded tar file. 
  4. Run pminstall to decompress files. 

INSTALLING PMCONSOLE SOFTWARE SUITE: 

  1. Create a directory on UNIX host to store software suite. This is commonly done in the /usr/portmaster directory, but it doesn't really matter. 
  2. # mkdir /usr/portmaster
    # cd /usr/portmaster
  3. Connect to Lucent's FTP site and download the compressed software. In the following example we download a version for SUN.
  4. # ftp ftp.livingston.com
    Connected to ftp.livingston.com.
