Yes, this is both fine and very much appreciated. > > On Nov 24, 2016, at 8:06 AM, Martijn Dashorst <[email protected]> > wrote: > > I've just checked out the project, and afaics the project would entail > directory-fortress-commander.

The steps for dev env require an ldap server installed, configured w/ schema, data loaded, and tested (optional). There is another clone required: https://github.com/apache/directory-fortress-core Before you can build, deploy and test the fortress-web component, which is wholly dependent on the core for its ldap functionality. When you reach, SECTION 5. Apache Tomcat Setup, if you already have it installed to your dev env, only do this: 2. Download the fortress realm proxy jar into tomcat/lib folder: sudo wget http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/directory/fortress/fortress-realm-proxy/2.0.0-RC1/fortress-realm-proxy-2.0.0-RC1.jar -P /usr/local/tomcat8/lib which is to download the fortress-realm proxy jar into the /lib folder of your tomcat instance (and restarted). The realm is the container security impl that fortress web uses for authentication and coarse-grained authorization. It also where the session is first established when the user first logs onto the app. Skip SECTION 6. Apache Fortress Rest Setup as it’s not needed. Then SECTION 7 The mvn deploy step of course will need proper creds for tomcat, or you can copy the .war into your tomcat/webapps folder manually and it should work fine. As we’re dealing with an LDAP server which is akin to the complexity of an RDBMS, there is an initial learning curve that can make simple steps tricky. For example loading the schema in apacheds can be hard for the unindoctrinated. As said before I will be your mentor. Anything you find hard to do, we’ll make note of, and fix so the next guy perhaps has an easier time. (for example proper instructions on fortress-web) So i must warn you that there’ll be extra challenges on our project that perhaps you would not have on another. But this may actually be a good thing because ldap knowledge can be useful (me thinks). I am also open to hosting a server in the cloud for you, that you can just be pointed to when working on this project, so you don’t have to have one running inside your dev env. > > On Nov 24, 2016, at 8:06 AM, Martijn Dashorst <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Performing a mvn jetty:run in the root of the commander yields errors > (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptions while loading jar files), but I don't > know if that should work. That will not work, though perhaps it should? Thanks, Shawn
