| + | === Multiple RADIUS Instances === | ||
| + | Since version 5.0.4, multiple instances of the Evolynx RADIUS server can run on the same machine. | ||
| + | |||
| + | After installing the first instance, make sure everything is working like a normal installation. To get a second instance, simply copy the program folder with all the contents (no need to copy the Admin web site) to a new folder. Create a config file (Evolynx.RADIUS.exe.config) to specify the ServiceName like following: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code xml> | ||
| + | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> | ||
| + | <configuration> | ||
| + | <appSettings> | ||
| + | <add key="ServiceName" value="Evolynx RADIUS 1"/> | ||
| + | </appSettings> | ||
| + | </configuration> | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | After creating the config file, use the InstallUtil tool (comes with Microsoft.net) to install the new instance: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | InstallUtil Evolynx.RADIUS.exe | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Then use the “Evolynx Controller” to change the IP address or the port numbers RADIUS listens to (each instance has to use separate IP address and/or port numbers for obvious reasons). Evolynx Controller must run from the same folder where the config file exists. After IP address and/or port numbers are changed, you can start the service using controller tool. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Things to note: | ||
| + | - Performance counters will be going nuts (each instance overwrites the counters). | ||
| + | - EventLog (in Windows Event Viewer) will be the same for all instances, but Source will be different. | ||
| + | - No need to get a new license, because they will be running on the same box. | ||
| + | - When un-installing, it may be necessary to un-install the first instance (which was installed using the installer) before those installed manually. | ||
