J2EE Policy Agent Sample Application

------------------------------------

This document describes how to use the agent sample application in conjunction

with the Sun Application Server and the J2EE Agent. Please note that the agent

needs to be installed first before deploying this sample application.

* Overview

* Configure the OpenSSO 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 OpenSSO

Policy Agent 3.0 Guide for Sun Java System Application Server 9, including

the post-installation steps.

Configure the OpenSSO server

---------------------------------------------

This agent sample application requires that the OpenSSO server is configured

with the subjects and policies required by the sample application.

On OpenSSO 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 <hostname> and <port> with the

actual fully qualified host name and port on which the sample

application will be running.

* Policy 1:

o allow:

+ http://<hostname>:<port>/agentsample/jsp/*

+ http://<hostname>:<port>/agentsample/invokerservlet

+ http://<hostname>:<port>/agentsample/protectedservlet

+ http://<hostname>:<port>/agentsample/securityawareservlet

+ http://<hostname>:<port>/agentsample/unprotectedservlet

o Subject: all authenticated users.

* Policy 2:

o allow:

+ http://<hostname>:<port>/agentsample/urlpolicyservlet

o Subject: Group: customer

Configure the agent properties

------------------------------

If the agent configuration is centralized, then do the following steps.

1). login to Opensso 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_install_root>/Agent_<instance_number>/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 opensso 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

configuartion 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 build 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/SUNWappserver/appserver/lib where /opt/SUNWappserver/appserver is

your <appserver_install_root>.

3 Change the Universal User Id (UUID)

By default, the Application server specific deployment descriptors assume

that the OpenSSO Server product was installed under default Org/Realm

"dc=opensso,dc=java,dc=net". 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

OpenSSO server console the group/role pages.

e.g. the root suffix of the OpenSSO server deployment is "dc=xyz,dc=com".

then replace all the occurrences of "dc=opensso,dc=java,dc=net" with

"dc=xyz,dc=com" in etc/sun-web.xml and etc/sun-application.xml.

4. Compile and assemble the application.

execute the command <appserver_install_root>/bin/asant

under <agent_install_root>/sampleapp/ to execute the default target build

and rebuild the EAR file.

The build target creates a built and dist directory with the EAR file.

5. Deploy the application. After you have re-created the sample application

from scratch, you may proceed directly to Deploying the Sample Application

or optionally perform step 5.

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:

Execute the command asadmin deploy

<appserver_install_root/bin/asadmin deploy --user <username> --password <password> <agent_install_root>/sampleapp/dist/agentsample.ear

Or you can log into the Application Server Admin Console to deploy the agentsample.ear.

Verifying Deployment

--------------------

As an optional step, you can use the Application Server Administration Tool to

verify that the application has been registered. Otherwise, proceed directly to

Running the Sample Application.

To verify the registration of the application:

1. Execute the command asadmin list-components to look at applications deployed with a server instance.

For example:

asadmin list-components --user <username> --password <password>

You will see agentsample listed.

2. Alternately, use the Application Server Admin Console and navigate to

Applications > Enterprise Applications. You will see agentsample listed.

Running the Sample Application

----------------------------

You can access the application through the following URL in a web browser:

http://<hostname>:<port>/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. Application server log files are located at

<appserver_install_root>/domains/<domain_name>/logs and the J2EE Agent logs can

be found at <agent_install_root>/Agent_<instance_number>/logs/debug directory.
