  3. Distribute the JAR files:

    1. Click Policies > Extensions.

    2. Select the extension, then click Distribute JARs.

    3. Restart Tomcat on the devices listed for reboot.

      2. Go to the Access Gateway pod by running the kubectl exec --namespace <name-of-the-namespace> -it pod/<name-of-the-access-gateway-pod> -- sh command.

      3. Run the /etc/init.d/novell-mag restart or systemctl restart novell-mag.service command.
