Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Installation Guide

Installing Directory Service Control Center From Zip Distribution

The Directory Server Enterprise Edition zip distribution includes a WAR file (dscc.war) that contains the Directory Service Control Center (DSCC) web application. The WAR file is deployed with the application server to enable you to do the following tasks:

The WAR file supports the following application servers:

The following two procedures contain information about deploying the WAR file with Sun Java System Application Server and Tomcat respectively.

ProcedureTo Deploy the WAR File with Sun Java System Application Server

After you install Directory Server Enterprise Edition, the WAR file, dscc.war, is at the following location:


install-path/var/dscc6/
  1. Initialize the DSCC registry.


    $ install-path/dscc6/bin/dsccsetup ads-create
    Choose password for Directory Service Manager:
    Confirm password for Directory Service Manager:
    Creating DSCC registry...
    DSCC Registry has been created successfully
  2. Create an application server instance.


    $ mkdir /local/domainroot
    $ setenv AS_DOMAINS_ROOT /local/domainroot
    $ cd app-server-install-path/bin
    $ asadmin create-domain --domaindir ${AS_DOMAINS_ROOT} --adminport 3737 \
    --adminuser boss dscc
  3. Edit the server.policy file.

    1. Open the server.policy file.


      $ vi ${AS_DOMAINS_ROOT}/dscc/config/server.policy
    2. Add the following statements to the end of the file:


      // Permissions for Directory Service Control Center
      grant codeBase "file:${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/applications/j2ee-modules/dscc/-" 
      {
      	permission java.security.AllPermission;
      };

    This configures the application server to grant all of the Java permissions to the DSCC application.

  4. Deploy the WAR file in your application server instance.


    $ asadmin start-domain --domaindir ${AS_DOMAINS_ROOT} --user username dscc 
    $ cp install-path/var/dscc6/dscc.war ${AS_DOMAINS_ROOT}/dscc/autodeploy

    For more information about creating and configuring application server instances and deploying the WAR file, refer to the Sun Java System Application Server Online Help.

  5. Open DSCC.

    Use http://hostname:8080/dscc or https://hostname:8181/dscc based on the configuration of your application server.

    The Directory Service Manager Login page displays.

    See Getting Started With Directory Service Control Center.

ProcedureTo Deploy WAR File with Tomcat

After you install Directory Server Enterprise Edition, the WAR file, dscc.war, is at install-path/var/dscc6/.

The dscc.war is installed in the same way as any other web application, except the following settings:

The following example shows how to install DSCC in Tomcat on a Solaris 10 system.

  1. Initialize the DSCC registry.


    $ install-path/dscc6/bin/dsccsetup ads-create
    Choose password for Directory Service Manager:
    Confirm password for Directory Service Manager:
    Creating DSCC registry...
    DSCC Registry has been created successfully
  2. Identify your Tomcat installation and instance.


    $ setenv CATALINA_HOME tomcat-install-path
    $ setenv CATALINA_BASE tomcat-instance-path
    $ setenv JAVA_HOME jdk-home-dir
    

    For installing Tomcat and creating instances, refer to the Tomcat documentation.

  3. Deploy the WAR file.

    Create the dscc directory as shown below:


    $ mkdir ${CATALINA_BASE}/webapps/dscc

    Copy the dscc.war file into newly created dscc folder and unzip the dscc.war file.


    $ unzip -d ${CATALINA_BASE}/webapps/dscc install-path/var/dscc6/dscc.war

    Add the emphasized text in the ${CATALINA_BASE}/conf/web.xml file as shown below:


     ...
        <servlet>
            <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
            <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class>
            <init-param>
                <param-name>fork</param-name>
                <param-value>false</param-value>
            </init-param>
            <init-param>
                <param-name>xpoweredBy</param-name>
                <param-value>false</param-value>
            </init-param>
    	...
            <init-param>
                <param-name>enablePooling</param-name>
                <param-value>false</param-value>
            </init-param>
            <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup>
        </servlet>
        ....

    Verify the permissions of startup.sh (tomcat5.exe on Windows) and run the following command:


    $ ${CATALINA_HOME}/bin/startup.sh
  4. Use http://hostname:8080/dscc to connect to DSCC.
