To deploy Token Service application, you should perform the following steps:

1. Download and unzip the war.zip file for the built web application from one of the builds from higgins download page

2. Install/configure Apache Tomcat server. You can download Apache Tomcat from http://tomcat.apache.org.

• If you are going to use Token Service via SSL, you need to configure SSL connector (you need to create a certificate and uncomment SSL Connector settings as described (for Tomcat 6.x) at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/ssl-howto.html).

3. Install OpenLDAP server http://www.openldap.org. OpenLDAP is required by JNDI Context Provider (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Components).

• On Linux:
  • Install OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/software/download/.
  • Configure OpenLDAP. By default, OpenLDAP configuration folder is /etc/openldap. If you are using this folder, just replace schema folder and slapd.conf file with files from linux_config.zip, otherwise replace schema folder and edit your slapd.conf. Compare your slapd.conf with slapd.conf from linux_config.zip and make the following changes:
    • include required schema files;
    • set root element rootdn "cn=root";
    • set root element suffix "";
    • set root element password rootpw higgins.
  • Run OpenLDAP (in case of using default OpenLDAP paths, execute /usr/libexec/slapd -f /usr/etc/openldap/slapd.conf).
  • Import some required entries from org.ldif file (execute /usr/libexec/ldapadd -x -D "cn=root" -w higgins -a -f org.ldif).
• On Windows:
  • Install OpenLDAP openldap-2.2.29-db-4.3.29-openssl-0.9.8a-win32_Setup.exe.
  • Configure OpenLDAP. If your OpenLDAP working directory is C:\Program Files\OpenLDAP, replace schema folder and slapd.conf file with files from windows_config.zip. If you are using another directory, replace schema folder and edit your slapd.conf. Compare your slapd.conf with slapd.conf from windows_config.zip and make the following changes:
    • include required schema files;
    • set root element rootdn "cn=root";
    • set root element suffix "";
    • set root element password rootpw higgins.
  • Run OpenLDAP ("C:\Program Files\OpenLDAP\slapd" -d 1).
  • Import some required entries from org.ldif file ("C:\Program Files\OpenLDAP\ldapadd" -x -D "cn=root" -w higgins -a -f org.ldif).

4. Configure TokenService. TokenService application uses some configuration files which are stored within a single configuration directory that is included as part of the WAR file. The configuration files can also be extracted from the source.zip file that is part of the build. Once the war file is deployed on tomcat you can find the configuration files in the webapps\TokenService\ConfigurationFiles directory for your tomcat server. The files can be edited there or can be copied to another location on your server and customized for your server. A system property is used to specify the location where the configuration files are stored. A detailed description of the changes to configuration files is described here: Token_Service_Build_Instructions. Briefly, you need:

• Replace "https://localhost" string in ManagedConfiguration.xml file with URL of your site;
• Change some properties (like URL of server, principal, credentials) of LDAP server in ManagedConfiguration.xml.

5. Deploy Token Service.

• Copy TokenService.war file to <Tomcat directory>/webapps directory.
• Add "org.eclipse.higgins.sts.conf" system property which should contain your Configuration directory path and "org.eclipse.higgins.sts.log4j.properties" which specifies the location of the log4j properties file (See Logging in Tomcat for more information on logging and the log4j properties file)
  • If you use Windows, add to catalina.bat the string like:

SET JAVA_OPTS=-Dorg.eclipse.higgins.sts.conf=C:\TokenService\ConfigurationFiles -Dorg.eclipse.higgins.sts.conf.file=ManagedConfiguration.xml -Dorg.eclipse.higgins.sts.log4j.properties=C:\TokenService\ConfigurationFiles\log4j.properties %JAVA_OPTS%

• • If you use Linux, add to catalina.sh the string like:

JAVA_OPTS='-Dorg.eclipse.higgins.sts.conf=/etc/TokenService/ConfigurationFiles -Dorg.eclipse.higgins.sts.conf.file=ManagedConfiguration.xml -Dorg.eclipse.higgins.sts.log4j.properties=/etc/TokenService/ConfigurationFiles/log4j.properties $JAVA_OPTS'
