NOTE: This currently works on Fedora using Vagrant. Google Compute Engine (GCE) and AWS are a work in progress. Other combinations have not been tested.
Installs the ForgeRock Open Identity Stack (OIS) on a Vagrant guest VM image. Uses Ansible to automate the installation. This has been tested using Vagrant, but with modification should work on AWS or GCE.
After completion of the build, the guest will have the following configured:
- haproxy to route ports 80/443 to various backend services. A test SSL cert is installed
- openidm running on port 9090
- opendj running on port 389. This is the user profile store.
- openam running on port 8080
- openig running on port 2080
- Policy agents installed (but not configured) for Apache and tomcat
-
Install Ansible, VirtualBox and Vagrant. If you are on a mac you can install Ansible using
brew install ansible
-
Download all of the ForgeRock binaries to the staging directory: vagrant/staging. There is a shell script provided vagrant/getnightly.sh that will auto download all of the nightly builds for you.
-
Edit ansible/group_vars/all with any environment specific configuration.
-
Execute the following:
cd vagrant
vagrant up
This may take a long time as the Vagrant VM must be downloaded. Be Patient!
If there are no errors from above you should be ready to test the VM.Put the IP address of the guest in your hosts /etc/hosts file. The Vagrant image is configured to use a host only IP:
192.168.56.11 openam.example.com openidm.example.com
- Login to OpenAM at http:https://openam.example.com/openam (amadmin/password)
- Login to OpenIDM at http:https://openidm.example.com/admin (openidm-admin/openidm-admin)
- View the OpenIG landing page at http:https://openam.example.com/openig/
- View the haproxy status page at https://openam.example.com/haproxy?stats
- View the default Apache landing page at https://openam.example.com/ (Currently protected - so you will get a 403)
- ssh into the guest using
vagrant ssh
- Using an ldap browser (Apache Directory Studio, for example) you can browse the user store at openam.example.com:389,
cn=Directory Manager / password
By default software is installed under /opt/ois. You can change this by editing ansible/group_vars/all
You can suspend the guest using:
vagrant suspend
If you want to destroy the VM and clean up all the resources:
vagrant destroy
Shell scripts are provided to re-run all or part of the provisioning process. For example,
cd vagrant
./frstack
Will run the entire frstack.yml playbook.
Ansible also supports the concept of "tags". If you want to run a subset of the playbook, provide a comma seperated value (no spaces) with a list of tags. For example:
cd vagrant
./frstack openam,openidm
Will run just those roles that pertain to OpenAM and OpenIDM
You can also re-run the vagrant ansible provisioner using:
vagrant provision
But note that this will not allow you to selectively provision using tags. This is essentially equivalent to runing ./frstack with no tags.
For Vagrant installs, the "staging/" directory is mounted on the guest. Ansible assumes it has access to all of the binaries local to the guest being installed. If you are on an environment such as AWS or GCE, you will need some process to download the binaries. See vagrant/getnightly.sh for an example.
The binary product files are expected to be generic (openam.zip, not OpenAM-13.0) -but you can include a RELEASE file that lists the specific installed versions.
The project runs an Ansible role called 'create-fr-user' that creates a ForgeRock user 'fr'. This user owns the directories and runs most of the JDKs for the stack.
It may be handy to be able to ssh into the guest as the fr user:
The ansible create-fr-user role attempts to copy your ssh public key in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub (on your local host) to the guests /home/fr/.ssh/known_hosts. If you don't have a public key in your ~.ssh directory create one following the instructions here: [https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/]
Ansible uses ssh to connect to the guest image. To debug connection issues you can use the -vvvv option when running the playbook. Edit the frstack script to set this variable (uncomment the DEBUG line).
The VM uses systemd to control all services. You can start / stop and get service status using the command systemctl:
systemctl [start|stop|status|restart] service
Where service is one of:
- openam
- openidm
- openig
- opendj
- apps
- haproxy
Use journalctl
to view the system log. You can type "G" to skip to the end of the log.
- The guest is currently Fedora 22. The scripts assume the use of systemd - so this should work on other distros that also support systemd.
- For consistency between environments a forgerock user is created ("fr" - because no one likes to type long names). Most services run under this account.
- To set up ssh for the fr user (so you can You can
ssh [email protected]
) Add your public ssh key to roles/create-fr-user/files. Edit roles/create-fr-user/tasks/main.yml to reflect the name of your pub key file.
If you are looking to contribute pull requests are welcome. Things that need to be done:
- Start migration of instances to Docker, and then eventually to Kubernetes. The image now has docker installed ready to go
- Make this work on both Debian / Centos / Ubuntu 15.x etc. (anything that supports systemd).
- policy agents install is not working / not completing. It installs the agent software but does not configure
- looks like the HOSTNAME needs to be set to the fqdn on the machine /etc/sysconfig/network or openam config bombs out This is fixed for Vagrant by setting config.vm.hostname. Will need a fix for other environments
- tomcat agent installer does not put filter in global web.xml. Need to fix up apps web.xml. Apparenty 4.0 deprecates global web.xml?
- Configure sample policies
- Add HA, multi-master replication, et
- Add some sample apps
- Configure openig as an agent
- Openig - gateway conf/ directory needs to be set to /opt/openig.
