<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"
xlink:role="http://docbook.org/xlink/role/olink"><citetitle>Creating Agent
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"
xlink:role="http://docbook.org/xlink/role/olink"><citetitle>Configuring
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
<filename>$CATALINA_HOME/bin</filename>. The Tomcat Windows executable
installer does not include the scripts, for example. If the scripts
are not present in your installation, copy the contents of the
<filename>bin</filename> directory from a .zip download of Tomcat of
the same version as the one you installed.</para>
<para>You must install a Java 6 runtime environment, and set the
<literal>JAVA_HOME</literal> environment variable.</para>
<screen>$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/path/to/java1.6
$ which java
/usr/bin/java</screen>
<para>>Go to <link xlink:href="install-guide#download-openam-software"
xlink:role="http://docbook.org/xlink/role/olink"><citetitle>Obtaining OpenAM Software</citetitle></link>
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>Unzip the file in the directory where you plan to install the J2EE
policy agent. The agent you install stores its configuration and logs
under this directory.</para>

<para>When you unzip the policy agent, you find the following directories
under the <filename>j2ee_agents/tomcat_v6_agent</filename> directory.</para>

<para>Upon successful completion, the installer has added the agent
configuration to Tomcat's configuration, and also set up configuration
and log directories for the agent.</para>
<note>
<para>If the agent is in a different domain than the server, refer to <citetitle>Administration Guide</citetitle> procedure, <link

xlink:role="http://docbook.org/xlink/role/olink"><citetitle>Configuring Cross-Domain
Single Sign On</citetitle></link>.</para>

</step>
<step>
<para>Take note of the configuration files and log locations.</para>
<para>Each agent instance that you install on the system has its own
numbered configuration and logs directory. The first agent's configuration
and logs are thus located under the directory
<filename>j2ee_agents/tomcat_v6_agent/Agent_001/</filename>.</para>

<para>Debug directory where the <filename>debug.out</filename> debug

<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>

<step performance="optional">
<para>If you choose not to let the installer install a global filter in
Tomcat's <filename>web.xml</filename>, then you must add the filter
manually for each protected application's <filename>web.xml</filename>
configuration, following the opening &lt;web-app&gt; tag. The file for
the sample application delivered with the agent is

<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
