13.1 Patching the Secure Attribute Exchange Host Machines

Patch the host machines that will be used to deploy the sample Secure Attribute Exchange JavaServer Pages application (bundled with OpenSSO Enterprise Client SDK). Towards this end, use different web containers from those on which OpenSSO Enterprise is installed. On our lab machines, the required Application Server patch is 117461–08. Results for your machine might be different. Read the latest documentation for your web container to determine if you need to install patches and, if so, what they might be. You can search for patches directly at http://sunsolve.sun.com. Navigate to the PatchFinder page, enter the patch number, click Find Patch, and download the appropriate patch for the Secure Attribute Exchange identity provider application host machine (sae.idp-example.com) and the Secure Attribute Exchange service provider application host machine (sae.sp-example.com).

To Patch the OpenSSO Enterprise Host Machines

1. Log in to the sae.idp-example.com host machine as a root user.

2. Run patchadd to see if the patch is already installed.

   # patchadd -p | grep 117461-08

   A series of patch numbers are displayed, and patch 117461–08 is present so there is no need to install any patches at this time.

3. Log out of the sae.idp-example.com host machine.

4. Log in to the sae.sp-example.com host machine as a root user.

5. Run patchadd to see if the patch is already installed.

   # patchadd -p | grep 117461-08

   A series of patch numbers are displayed, and patch 117461–08 is present so there is no need to install any patches at this time.

6. Log out of the sae.sp-example.com host machine.
