Installing on Linux

This section describes how to install and uninstall the RSA RADIUS Server software on a Linux server.

System Requirements

The RSA RADIUS Server software package includes the server daemon and various dictionary and database files to support authentication.

Table 6. Linux Server – System Requirements

Memory	At least 256 megabytes of working memory
	(512 megabytes for servers with more than 10,000
	RADIUS users.)
Disk space	Installing the RSA RADIUS Server software requires at
	least 234 megabytes of space on the hard disk; hard disk
	requirements for running RSA RADIUS Server depend on
	your system's product configuration.
Networking	TCP/IP must be configured on the Linux host for the
	RSA RADIUS Server to function properly.
