Creating an OpenSSO WAR Manifest File

An OpenSSO manifest file is a text file that identifies all of the individual files in a WAR file for a specific release, with checksum information for each file.

Use this procedure to create a manifest file that you can include in a specialized OpenSSO WAR, such as an OpenSSO server only, administration console only, Distributed Authentication UI server, or IDP Discovery Service WAR

To Create an OpenSSO WAR Manifest File

1. Run ssopatch to create the OpenSSO manifest file. For example:

   ./ssopatch -o zip-root/opensso/deployable-war/opensso.war --manifest /tmp/manifest

   where opensso.war is an existing OpenSSO WAR file.

   The ssopatch utility creates a new manifest file named manifest in the the /tmp directory.

2. To allow the WAR file to be patched, copy this new manifest file to the META-INF directory inside the opensso.war file. For example:

   mkdir META-INF cp /tmp/manifest META-INF jar uf opensso.war META-INF/manifest
