NSD1076 How to install Identity Manager in other application server than Tomcat
Fact
Identity Manager
Situation
The NordicEdge Identity Manager is bundled with Apache Tomcat. If another server is to be used (like jBoss, WebLogic, WebSphere, etc), the application needs to be package as war file.
Solution
Download the Identity Manager Web Edition for the platform to be used.
Install the Identity Manager and fill in the LDAP server, Admin DN, password, etc.
Identity Manager needs access to the NEIDmgmt directory (installed in <tomca>/NEIDmgmt). In some application engines/cluster, there is no file system to put the files on. In this case they need to be included in the war file.
Scenario 1, exclude NEIDMgmt from war file:
1. Copy the <tomcat>/NEIDMgmt directory to the server
2. Edit the web.xml in <tomcat>/webapps/nordicedge/WEB-INF
3. Make sure to change the ROOT_PATH parameter to point to the directory where NEIDMgmt was copied in step 1. Sample:
/config/NEIDMgmt
4. Open a terminal, and go to the directory <tomcat>/webapps/nordicedge
5. Create the war file with the command:
jar -cvf nordicedge.war *
Note: The jar executable might not be in the path, so you might have to give the full path, like:
/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_10/bin/jar -cvf nordicedge.war *
6. Deploy the war file in the application server.
Scenario 2, include NEIDMgmt from war file:
1. Copy the <tomcat>/NEIDMgmt directory to the <tomcat>/webapps/nordicedge/WEB-INF
2. Edit the web.xml in <tomcat>/webapps/nordicedge/WEB-INF
3. Make sure to change the ROOT_PATH to:
WEB-INF/NEIDMgmt
4. Open a terminal, and go to the directory <tomcat>/webapps/nordicedge
5. Create the war file with the command:
jar -cvf nordicedge.war *
Note: The jar executable might not be in the path, so you might have to give the full path, like:
/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_10/bin/jar -cvf nordicedge.war *
6. Deploy the war file in the application server.
