Can the Management server run on Windows 2000?
YES
What are the procedures (documentation) for
moving a management server?
1. Install the FireWall-1 software on the 2000 server.
When setting this software up, designate the firewall
module as a remote module. You will be prompted for a
secret key to authenticate management commands. YOU
MUST USE THE SAME KEY OF THE FIRST TIME, OR EVEN DO
PUTKEYS AGAIN.
2. Remove current objects.* from the 2000 server
3. Transfer these files from the SOLARIS management
module to the new 2000 managment module (FTP is fine):
$FWDIR/conf/objects.C (objects and properties)
$FWDIR/conf/*.W (security policy)
$FWDIR/conf/rulebases.fws (Combined rule bases for GUI
clients)
$FWDIR/conf/fwauth.NDB (User database)
$FWDIR/conf/fwmusers Adminstrators
$FWDIR/conf/gui-clients Allow GUI Adminstrative hosts
Note: Any *.NDB files must be transferred in binary
mode. All other files should be transferred in ASCII
mode.
3. Restart the 2000 management station.
4. Sometimes it is neccessary to regenerate the
rulebases.fws file and objects.C files once moved to
the new management station. This is done when you no
longer see your rulebases or objects once you login to
the Gui Client on the new mangement console.
