Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Technical Overview

Default Paths and Directory Names

The OpenSSO Enterprise documentation uses the following terms to represent default paths and directory names:

Table P–1 Default Paths and Directory Names

Term 

Description 

zip-root

Represents the directory where the opensso.zip file is decompressed.

OpenSSO-Deploy-base

Represents the directory where the web container deploys opensso.war. The location varies depending on the web container used. To determine the value of OpenSSO-Deploy-base, view the file in the .openssocfg directory (located in the home directory of the user who deployed opensso.war). For example, consider this scenario with Application Server 9.1 as the web container:

  • Application Server 9.1 is installed in the default directory: /opt/SUNWappserver.

  • The opensso.war file is deployed by super user (root) on Application Server 9.1.

The .openssocfg directory is in the root home directory (/), and the file name in .openssocfg is AMConfig_opt_SUNWappserver_domains_domain1_applications_j2ee-modules_opensso_. Thus, the value for OpenSSO-Deploy-base is:

/opt/SUNWappserver/domains/domain1/applications/j2ee-modules/opensso

ConfigurationDirectory

Represents the name of the directory specified during the initial configuration of OpenSSO Enterprise. The default is opensso in the home directory of the user running the Configurator. Thus, if the Configurator is run by root, ConfigurationDirectory is /opensso.
