http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=43e00414

  1. As a root user, log in to the Federation Manager 2 host.

    Change to the directory where you unpacked the SAMLv2 installation files. Example:


    # cd /tmp/saml2
    # ls
    ./                             SUNWsaml2/
    ../                            saml2setup*
    ENTITLEMENT.TXT                saml2silent
    LICENSE.TXT                    samlv2-1.0-solaris-sparc.tar
    README.TXT                     version
  2. In a different directory, make a copy of the saml2silent file.

    For this deployment example, no changes are made to the saml2silent file. All default values contained in the saml2silent file are used during installation. If you changed anything in the fmsilent other than the changes described in the section To Install Federation Manager Server 2, you should reflect the same changes in the saml2silent file.

  3. Run the SAMLv2 installer.


    # cd /tmp/saml2
    # ./saml2setup install -s saml2silent

    When installation is complete, you will see the following message:


    To complete the installation of SAML2 you must deploy the war file.  
    Refer to the web container documentation 
    or the release notes for directions on deploying a war file.

    Do not deploy the Federation Manager WAR file as instructed in the onscreen message. Instead, complete the following step and then proceed directly to the next task, To Install the SAMLv2 Patch 2 on Federation Manager 2.

  4. Restart the Federation Manager server, and verify that you can successfully access it.
