<title>Installing the Apache Tomcat Policy Agent</title>
<indexterm><primary>Apache Tomcat Server</primary></indexterm>
<para>This chapter covers installation of the policy agent for Apache
Tomcat.</para>
<section xml:id="before-tomcat-agent-install">
<title>Before You Install</title>
<para>Make sure OpenAM is installed and running, and that you can contact OpenAM
from the system running the policy agent. Next, create a profile for your
policy agent as described in the <citetitle>Administration Guide</citetitle>
section on <link xlink:href="admin-guide#create-agent-profiles"
Profiles</citetitle></link>. To protect resources with the agent also create
at least one policy as described in the section on <link
xlink:href="admin-guide#configure-authz-policy"
Policies</citetitle></link>. Consider creating a simple policy, such as a
policy that allows only authenticated users to access your resources, in order
to test your policy agent after installation.</para>
<para>You must install Apache Tomcat before you install the policy
agent, and you must stop the server during installation.</para>
<para>All of the Tomcat scripts must be present in
installer does not include the scripts, for example. If the scripts
are not present in your installation, copy the contents of the
<filename>bin</filename> directory from a .zip download of Tomcat of
the same version as the one you installed.</para>
<para>You must install a Java 6 runtime environment, and set the
<literal>JAVA_HOME</literal> environment variable.</para>

to determine which version of the agent to download and download the agent.
Also verify the checksum of the file you download against the checksum
posted on the download page.</para>

<para>Upon successful completion, the installer has added the agent
configuration to Tomcat's configuration, and also set up configuration

<para>If your policy agent configuration is not in the top-level realm (/),
then you must edit config/<?eval ${agentsBootstrapFile}?> to identify
the sub-realm that has your policy agent configuration.
Find com.sun.identity.agents.config.organization.name and change
the / to the path to your policy agent profile. This allows the policy agent
to properly identify itself to the OpenAM server. </para>

<para>If you have a policy configured, you can test your policy agent.
For example, try to browse to a resource that your policy agent protects.
You should be redirected to OpenAM to authenticate, for example as user

you authenticate, OpenAM then redirects you back to the resource you tried
