About this task

Use the EASGConfigure.sh script to enable EASG on an Avaya Experience Portal server. After EASG is enabled, the Avaya Services Logins accounts are EASG protected. Use the challenge-response authentication to log in to the Avaya Experience Portal server.

Note:

  • Using EASGConfigure.sh script to enable EASG on an Avaya Experience Portal server does not enable EASG on other existing servers in the Avaya Experience Portal system. To enable EASG on other servers, run the script on each server.

  • Users with root privileges or users who belong to the susers group can run the EASGConfigure.sh to enable EASG.

Before you begin

  • Ensure that the server has a non-Avaya service account with root privilege or a user that belongs to the susers group to run the EASGConfigure.sh script.

  • You cannot log in to the Experience Portal server with an Avaya Services Login account if the current state of the server is disabled.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Avaya Experience Portal Linux server in one of the following ways:

    • Log in locally as a user with root privilege or as a user who belongs to the susers group.

    • Log in remotely as a non-root user, and then enter the su - command to change the user to a user with root privileges or a user that belongs to the susers group.

  2. Navigate to the $AVAYA_HOME/Support/Security-Tools/EASG directory where the script is located.
  3. Run the bash EASGConfigure.sh --enable command.

    The script displays the Acceptance of terms prompt for enabling EASG.

    For example:

    bash EASGConfigure.sh --enable
