These instructions are intended for new users who want to quickly learn how to use JoshuaTree Fortress and Symas OpenLDAP IAM software on Windows platform using QUICKSTART package: http://iamfortress.org/download

Follow the steps and


System Prerequisites

The following steps are required...

NOTE: The Fortress build.xml may run without connection to Internet iff:

Guidelines and Tips for first-time users


  1. Instructions to extract and configure Fortress Builder Package to Target System

    1. Copy fortressBuilder-[platform]-[version].zip to hard drive on target server env.

    2. Extract the zip. The location for archive can vary according to requirements. The location of package will be referred to as FORTRESS_HOME later on.


  2. Instructions to run the Fortress Ant Build

    1. From FORTRESS_HOME root folder, edit the b.bat script to point to java home:

      set JAVA_HOME=\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.7.0



    2. Run the distribution target:

      b.bat dist


      Note: The b.bat file referred to here uses Ant package that is local to Fortress quickstart package.

    3. Verify it ran correctly according to Ant:

      BUILD SUCCESSFUL



    You may now view the project binaries and documentation located under FORTRESS_HOME/dist.




  3. Instructions to run the Builder to Install Symas OpenLDAP, configure and load with seed data

    Important: This target reinstalls and reloads the OpenLDAP server program, configuration and data.


    1. From FORTRESS_HOME root folder, edit the build.properties file, setting the 3 properties below to match your environment:

      slapd.exe.drive=C <-- contains the drive letter for openldap server slapd.exe.dir=OpenLDAP <-- contains the folder to load openldap server binaries fortress.home.drive=C <-- contains the drive letter that you extracted fortress' builder package to.

      If you are not sure, what to use, the defaults usually work. Here's a screen shot of the build.properties.



    2. From FORTRESS_HOME root folder, enter the following command from a system prompt:

      b init-slapd


      Note: You will need to reply 'Yes' to the pop-up message:



      Note: You will need to reply 'Allow' to the pop-up security warning message if you intend to allow other machines to communicate with ldap server:




    3. Verify it ran correctly according to Ant.

      BUILD SUCCESSFUL



    4. After above step completes, Symas OpenLDAP will be installed, configured and loaded with fortress bootstrap config. This step also runs provisioning scripts which may be tailored according to requirements. Check out the xml load scripts in FORTRESS_HOME/ldap/setup folder.

    5. Point your preferred LDAP browser, ours is Apache Directory Studio, to the installed directory. The configuration parameters you'll need to browse can be found in the generated 'slapd.conf' file.

      To view data stored in default database:

      suffix "dc=openldap,dc=org" rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=openldap,dc=org" rootpw "secret"

      The root pw will be encrypted before stored in slapd.conf



      To view data stored in audit log database:

      suffix "cn=log" rootdn "cn=Manager,cn=log" rootpw "secret"

      The log root pw will be encrypted before stored in slapd.conf




  4. Instructions to regression test Fortress and Symas OpenLDAP on target machine

    1. From FORTRESS_HOME root folder, enter the following command from a system prompt:

      b test-full



    2. Verify these tests ran with no ERRORS.

      BUILD SUCCESSFUL



    3. To re-run these tests:

      b test-full

    Note 1: WARNING messages in test output are good as these are negative tests in action:


    Note 2: If you made it this far without junit or ant ERRORS, the Fortress and Symas OpenLDAP IAM system are certified to run on your machine.

    Note 3: These tests load tens of thousands of records into your newly installed directory. The 'init-slapd' target may be re-run after the 'test-full-init' and 'test-full' targets have completed. This will delete the test data from the directory and restart directory with a clean slate.
  5. Instructions to install Commander Web UI Demo (optional)

    Run the install-commander-demo target:

    b install-commander-demo

  6. Instructions to automatically test Commander Web UI Demo (optional)

    Run the commander-maven-test target to perform headless test of Commander Web:

    b commander-maven-test

    note: Firefox must be preinstalled to target system.
  7. Instructions to connect to Commander Web Admin

    Open up browser and enter the following URL:

    http://localhost:8080/commander

    userId: test password: test

    Click on links on top or bottons on side of page to navigate between pages

  8. Instructions to run the Fortress Command Line Interpreter (CLI) utility (optional)

    This command line tool provides an interactive session with the user based on a simple command line syntax.

    1. To start the CLI, enter:

      b cli



      Which will bring up the command interpreter:


    2. enter the command:

      review fuser -u demo



      This example will return all users with userId that begins with 'demo':



    3. To learn more about the CLI and what it can do, follow instructions in the command line interpreter reference manual in the javadoc located here:

      Command Line Interpreter

      Note: if javadocs are not found, go to Section X

  9. Instructions to run Fortress Console (optional)

    For tasks like one-time setup of new users, password resets, searches the Fortress Console application can be used.

    1. From FORTRESS_HOME root folder, enter the following command from a system prompt:

      b console



    2. Console Screenshots...

      1. Main Menu:


      2. Enter choice and follow the screen prompts to edit RBAC data:


      3. Enter choice and follow the screen prompts to search RBAC data:


      4. Enter choice and follow the screen prompts to test RBAC policies:

    5. Good places to start learning about Fortress:

  11. Instructions to install EnMasse Policy Server Demo (optional)

    1. Run the install-enmasse-demo target:

      b install-enmasse-demo

    2. Verify it ran correctly according to Ant.
    3. After above step completes, Fortress EnMasse will be installed


  12. Instructions to regression test EnMasse Policy server on target machine (optional)

    1. Edit file named 'build.properties' and enable REST protocol here:

      enable.mgr.impl.rest=true

      Accept the defaults for other HTTP parameters in build.properties:

      http.user=demouser4 http.pw=gX9JbCTxJW5RiH+otQEX0Ja0RIAoPBQf http.host=localhost http.port=8080

    2. Should look like the following:



    3. Save and exit the text file editor

    4. From FORTRESS_HOME root folder, enter the following command from a system prompt:

      b test-full



    5. Note: The EnMasse regression tests will run for around 10 minutes.

    6. Verify these tests ran with no ERRORS.

      BUILD SUCCESSFUL



    7. This regression test may be rerun as often as necessary:

      b test-full

    8. Note 1: WARNING messages in test output are good as these are negative tests in action:


      Note 2: If you made it this far without junit or ant ERRORS, EnMasse is installed and certified to run on your machine.

      Note 3: These tests load tens of thousands of records into your directory. The 'test-full' target may be re-run as often as necessary. After regressions testing have completed, you may run the 'init-slapd' target to remove all test data from the directory.
