Install the Layer 7 License File

Note: In a high-availability environment where you have installed two gateways, perform these steps on Gateway 1 only.

Upon initial login to the Gateway, the Layer 7 Policy Manager prompts you to install your license file.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Layer 7 Policy Manager web interface at the following URL:

   https://<GATEWAY_ONE_HOSTNAME>:8443/ssg/webadmin

2. Log in using the credentials you created during installation for the Gateway admin user.

   These are the credentials you entered for SSM username and SSM password.

   Note: The Gateway includes a login security feature to prevent unauthorized access. After several failed login attempts, the system locks. After 20 minutes, the lockout timer expires and you may attempt login again.

   The Cluster License window appears.

3. Click Install License.
4. Navigate to the location where you unpacked the Layer 7 tarball and select the following license file:

   CA_Cloudminder_MSP_SSGv7_5yr.xml
   

5. Click I Agree to start the license installation.

   The Cluster License window reappears.

   Note: Installation is proceeding at this time. The system may seem unresponsive for several minutes while the installation completes. Do not attempt to interact with the system until installation is confirmed.

6. Verify that the license is valid and close the window.
