These are the steps for downloading and reinstalling the
AFX Server Archive component on an RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle appliance using the
AFXServer.zip generated from the RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle Administrative console.
- Login to the RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle user Interface (for example, https://igl.yourcompany.com/aveksa/main).
- Download the AFXServer.zip from the user interface under AFX > Servers > AFX Server > Download Server Archive.
- Transfer the AFXServer.zip from your PC to the RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle appliance using a tool like WinSCP or another SFTP client and place the file under /home/{afxuser}.
- Login to the application server as the afx user.
- Shutdown AFX if it exists, and check that no AFX processes remain. Note: Always stop AFX as the afx user.
service afx_server stop
ps -ef | grep AFX
- Kill any remaining AFX processes, where xxxx are any AFX processes still running:
kill -9 xxxx
- Backup the pre-existing AFX directory, if it exists.
mv AFX AFX.backup<date>
- Expand the AFX Server Archive.
unzip AFXServer.zip
- Navigate to the AFX bin directory and run the script to set permissions:
cd /home/{afxuser}/AFX/bin
sh ./setPerms.sh
- Start AFX. Note: Always start AFX as the afx user.
service afx_server start
- Launch the RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle user interface and check the status of the AFX Server and AFX connectors and make sure they are all in a Running state.
