Installing Activation Files for Add-On Products

Add-On Products can be installed in two ways:

Use the automated installer to install activation files

The easiest way to install or upgrade activation files is by running the MSS automated installer.

  1. Download the current version of the activation file for each add-on product from the Micro Focus download site (where you downloaded Host Access Management and Security Server).

  2. Place each activation file in the directory with the MSS installer.

    On Windows, for example: to install the Advanced Authentication Add-On, place the activation file in the same folder as the installer, mss-12.4.4.<build>-prod-wx64.exe.

    NOTE:The activation.mss_framework-12.4.4.jaw activation file is automatically installed to enable the Host Access Management and Security Server framework.

  3. Run the MSS installer.

    The activation files are placed in the appropriate directories, and you can begin configuring the add-on features.

    The add-on products are also included on the About Management and Security Server page under Installed products.

Use the About page to install activation files

The activation files for add-on products can be installed or upgraded using the About Management and Security Server page. Further action is required to configure the add-on features.

  1. Download the current version of the activation file and note the download destination.

  2. In the Administrative WebStation, click Resources > About Management and Security Server.

  3. On the About Management and Security Server page, beneath the box, click Browse or Choose File (depending on your browser).

  4. Locate and select the activation file. Click Open.

  5. Click Install to add the product.

    The new product is included in the list of Installed products, and the configuration settings are available on the add-on product's tab in the Administrative WebStation.

    NOTE:The list of installed products includes the Host Access Management and Security Server Framework activation file, which is automatically installed to enable the server framework.

  6. Restart your browser to ensure that the Administrative WebStation is fully updated with the new set of activation files. You do not need to restart the administrative server.

  7. Each add-on product requires further configuration and/or activation.

    For details, refer to the appropriate section for setting up your add-on product(s).

    NOTE:The activation files for the Security Proxy and Terminal ID Manager must be copied to specific locations to activate the features.

    See the Help topic on the About page for detailed instructions.
