Migrating from SAS3

The Migration Wizard moves data from a SAS3 server to SAS Radius 4: NAS, managers, profiles, prices, users, prepaid cards and card users. Open it from Tools → Maintenance → Import SAS3 Database → Import.

The migration erases the current SAS4 database (users, managers, profiles, NAS, cards, journals, sessions). Use it on a new server, and download a backup first.

Steps

1. Take a backup on the SAS3 server and download the gzipped database file.
2. In the wizard, click Upload and choose the file.
3. Read the warning and click Start.
4. Follow the progress: Importing File, Verifying Database, Importing NAS(s), Managers, Profiles, Pricing List, Users (about 500 users per minute), Prepaid Cards, Card Users, Migration Completed.

Check after migration

• NAS: the CoA port is set to 1700. Check it matches your routers.
• Managers get the permission group whose name contains "normal". Set the right group for each manager.
• Profiles are imported as normal profiles. Set again the Expired / Quota / Daily Limit Next Profile links and the Monthly Billing Start Day.
• Users keep their passwords. Users with traffic-limited profiles get a fresh quota.
• Only unused prepaid cards are imported.
• Settings, permission groups and sites are not imported; set them up in SAS4.

If a step fails, the wizard stops with a red mark. Contact Snono support before trying again; the database may already be partly erased.
