ProcedureTo Generate an OpenSSO Enterprise WAR on the OpenSSO Enterprise 1 Host Machine

  1. Log in to the osso1.idp-example.com host machine as root user.

  2. Create a directory into which the OpenSSO Enterprise ZIP file can be downloaded and change into it.


    # mkdir /export/OSSO_BITS
    # cd /export/OSSO_BITS
    
  3. Download the OpenSSO Enterprise ZIP file from http://www.sun.com/download/.

  5. Switch to the non-root user.


    # su osso80adm
    
  6. Create a staging area in the non-root user directory into which the WAR will be exploded.


    # cd /export/osso80adm
    # mkdir osso-staging
    

    Tip –

    In the staging area, after exploding the WAR, you can modify the WAR contents to suit your needs, generate a new WAR, and deploy it on any number of remote host computers. Whenever you need to make changes to the WAR, you maintain the changes in this one staging area, and redeploy the modified WAR as many times as you want, on as many host machines as you need.


  7. Explode the WAR file.


    # cd osso-staging
    # jar xvf /export/OSSO_BITS/opensso/deployable-war/opensso.war
    
  8. Make the following modifications to the bootstrap.properties file.

    By default, during the WAR deployment, OpenSSO Enterprise creates a bootstrap file in the user's home directory. The bootstrap.properties file points to the directory where all the OpenSSO Enterprise configurations will be created. With these modifications, OpenSSO Enterprise will create the bootstrap file in the directory you specify; in this case, /export/osso80adm/config. bootstrap.properties is located in /export/osso80adm/osso-staging/WEB-INF/classes.

    • Uncomment the line that reads #configuration.dir=.

    • Add the following value to the configuration.dir= property so it reads as follows.


      configuration.dir=/export/osso80adm/config
  9. Regenerate the WAR.


    # cd /export/osso80adm/osso-staging
    # jar cvf ../opensso.war *
    

    A new WAR file is created, including the modified bootstrap.properties.

  10. Verify that the new WAR was created in the proper location and with the appropriate permissions.


    # cd /export/osso80adm
    # ls -al
