------------------------------------ J2EE Policy Agent Sample Application ------------------------------------ This document describes how to use the agent sample application in conjunction with the Websphere Application Server 6.1/7.0 and the J2EE Agent. Please note that the agent needs to be installed first before deploying this sample application. * Overview * Configure the OpenAM server * Configure the agent properties * Compiling and Assembling the Application * Deploying the Sample Application * Running the Sample Application * Troubleshooting Overview -------- The sample application is a collection of servlets, JSPs and EJB's that demonstrate the salient features of the J2EE policy Agent. These features include SSO, web-tier declarative security, programmatic security, URL policy evaluation and session/policy/profile attribute fetch. The web.xml deployment descriptor has already been edited to include the Agent Filter. The deployment descriptors and source code are available in the sampleapp/src directory. The sample application is supported for Policy Agent 3.0. The application is already built and ready to be deployed. It is available at sampleapp/dist/agentsample.ear. Note, the instructions here assume that you have installed the agent successfully and have followed the steps outlined in the OpenAM Policy Agent 3.0 Guide for IBM Websphere Server 6.1/7.0, including the post-installation steps. Configure the OpenAM server ---------------------------- This agent sample application requires that the OpenAM server is configured with the subjects and policies required by the sample application. On OpenAM admin console, do the following configuration. 1. Create the following users: Here is the following list of users with username/password : * andy/andy * bob/bob * chris/chris * dave/dave * ellen/ellen * frank/frank * gina/gina 2. Assign Users to Groups Create new groups for employee, manager, everyone, and customer. Then assign the users to the groups as follows: * employee: o andy, bob, chris, dave, ellen, frank * manager: o andy, bob, chris * everyone: o andy, bob, chris, dave, ellen, frank, gina * customer: o chris, ellen 3. Create the following URL Policies: In the following URLs, replace the and with the actual fully qualified host name and port on which the sample application will be running. * Policy 1: o allow: + http://:/agentsample/jsp/* + http://:/agentsample/invokerservlet + http://:/agentsample/protectedservlet + http://:/agentsample/securityawareservlet + http://:/agentsample/protectedcallerservlet o Subject: all authenticated users. * Policy 2: o allow: + http://:/agentsample/urlpolicyservlet o Subject: Group: customer Configure the agent properties ------------------------------ If the agent configuration is centralized, then do the following steps. 1). login to OpenAM console as amadmin user 2). navigate to Access Control/realm/Agents/J2EE, and click on the agent instance link (assume the agent instance is already created, otherwise refer to the agent doc to create the agent instance). 3). in tab "Application", section "Access Denied URI Processing", property "Resource Access Denied URI", enter agentsample in the Map Key field, /agentsample/authentication/accessdenied.html in the Map Value field, and SAVE the change. 4). in tab "Application", section "Login Processing", property "Login Form URI", add /agentsample/authentication/login.html, and SAVE the change. 5). in tab "Application", section "Not Enforced URI Processing", property "Not Enforced URIs", add the following entries: /agentsample/public/* /agentsample/images/* /agentsample/styles/* /agentsample/index.html /agentsample/ /agentsample and SAVE the change. If the agent configuration is local, then edit the local agent configuration file OpenSSOAgentConfiguration.properties located at the directory /Agent_/config with following changes: * Not enforced List: com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.uri[0] = /agentsample/public/* com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.uri[1] = /agentsample/images/* com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.uri[2] = /agentsample/styles/* com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.uri[3] = /agentsample/index.html com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.uri[4] = /agentsample/ com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.uri[5] = /agentsample * Access Denied URI: com.sun.identity.agents.config.access.denied.uri[agentsample] = /agentsample/authentication/accessdenied.html * Form List: com.sun.identity.agents.config.login.form[0] = /agentsample/authentication/login.html Optionally, you can try out the fetch mode features that allow the agent to fetch some values and make them available to your application. For example, you can fetch user profile values(like email or full name) from the user data store of your OpenAM setup and make them available to your application code (through cookies, headers, or request attributes) for application customization. See the Policy Agent 3.0 for details about the fetching attributes for details on using this feature. If you change the agent's configuration for the attribute fetching, the showHttpHeaders.jsp page of the sample application will show all the attributes being fetched. You can choose to try this later after you have already installed and deployed the agent and sample application in order to learn about this feature. Compiling and Assembling the Application ---------------------------------------- This section contains instructions to build and assemble the sample application using a Command Line Interface (CLI). To rebuild the entire application from scratch, follow these steps: 1. Set your JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH to JDK1.4 or above. 2. Replace 'APPSERV_LIB_DIR' in build.xml with the directory where j2ee.jar is located. For Example: Replace APPSERV_LIB_DIR with /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/lib where /opt/WebSphere/AppServer is your . 3 Change the Universal User Id (UUID) By default, the Application server specific deployment descriptors assume that the OpenAM Server product was installed under default Org/Realm "dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org". If the Org/Realm for the deployment scenario is different from the default root suffix, the UUID for the role/principal mappings should be changed accordingly. The UUID can be obtained from the OpenAM server console the group/role pages. e.g. the root suffix of the OpenAM server deployment is "dc=xyz,dc=com". then replace all the occurrences of "dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org" with "dc=xyz,dc=com" in etc/ibm-application-bnd.xmi. 4. Compile and assemble the application execute the command /bin/ws_ant.sh(.bat) under /sampleapp/ to execute the default target build and rebuild the EAR file. 5. Deploying the application - After you have re-created the sample application from scratch, you may proceed to deploying the Sample Application or you can use the copy of the sample application under dist/agentsample.ear if no changes are required in the deployment descriptors for the application. 6. Optionally you can run 'ant rebuild' to clean the application project area and run a new build. Now you are ready to use the dist/agentsample.ear file for deployment. Deploying the Sample Application -------------------------------- To deploy the application, do the following: Goto IBM WebSphere Application Server console and deploy agentsample.ear. Running the Sample Application ---------------------------- You can run the application through the following URL: http://:/agentsample Traverse the various links to understand each agent feature. Troubleshooting ---------------------------- If you encounter problems when running the application, review the log files to learn what exactly went wrong. J2EE Agent logs can be found at /Agent_/logs/debug directory. Also, see the OpenAM Policy Agent 3.0 Guide for IBM Websphere Server 6.1/7.0.
