Hi

I followed the readme to configure the example.(but I configure the example
and the IDP in the same tomcat)

I am able to view the web service.

But when I access the link
https://localhost:8443/fedizhelloworld/secure/fedservlet

I always get this error

WARNING: Unexpected error forwarding to login page

Can someone send me a working tomcat and send it to me? It will be much
easier to explore the example.

This is the first time to post questions on the mail list. Yesterday I file
a bug to the jira

Simple Web Application Demo
===========================

This demo shows how to build and deploy an SSO protected using Apache CXF Fediz 
web application.

The Demo consist of three parts:

- Enable Fediz in Servlet Container (ex. Tomcat)
- Install the Fediz Identity Provider (IDP)
- Build the Demo Web Application


Fediz configuration in Tomcat
-----------------------------

The Tomcat installation must be updated before a Web Application can be 
deployed.

The following wiki page gives instructions how to do that:
http://cxf.apache.org/fediz-tomcat.html


Fediz Identity Provider (IDP)
-----------------------------

The IDP is the central security server to whom unauthenticated requests are 
redirected. Its responsibility is
to authenticate the browser user and issue a security token which fulfills the 
Web Application requirements.

The following wiki page gives instructions how to set up the IDP:
http://cxf.apache.org/fediz-idp.html


Demo Web Application
---------------------

The main code lives in the class FederationServlet. This Servlet is protected 
and can only be accessed if the
browser user is authenticated. The purpose of the FederationServlet is to 
illustrate the usage of the
Java Servlet Security API to get the authenticated user and to check the roles 
he has.
Further, the FederationServlet shows how to access claims data (user data) 
which were store in the SAML token
by using the Fediz interface FederationPrincipal.
Beyond that, the FederationServlet illustrates how to access the SAML token if 
required. The classes 
SecurityTokenThreadLocal.java and FederationFilter.java can be used to achieve 
that. You could get this information
directly from the HTTP session.


Prerequisite
------------
Please review the README in the samples main directory before continuing.

Copy the Fediz Configuration file into the directory 'conf' of the Tomcat 
installation. The configuration file
is located in src/main/config/fediz_config.xml of this example.

This configuration references the java keystore 'conf/stsstore.jks' which 
contains the certificate to validate
a SAML token issued by the IDP/STS. This keystore is located in 
webapps/fedizidpsts/WEB-INF/classes/stsstore.jks (deployed)
or in services/sts/src/main/resources/stsstore.jks (source)


Building the demo using Maven
-----------------------------

From the base directory of this sample (i.e., where this README file is
located), the pom.xml file is used to build and run the demo. 

Using either UNIX or Windows:

  mvn clean install   (builds the demo and creates a WAR file for Servlet 
deployment)


Deploying the demo to Tomcat
----------------------------

You can manually copy the generated WAR file to the Tomcat webapps folder, or, 
if you
have Maven and Tomcat set up to use the Tomcat Maven Plugin 
(http://mojo.codehaus.org/tomcat-maven-plugin/)
you can use the mvn tomcat:redeploy command instead.  Important: if you're 
using this 
command, and are using Tomcat 6 instead of Tomcat 7, update the 
tomcat-maven-plugin configuration 
in the pom.xml, switching to the the Tomcat 6-specific "url" element.


Test the demo
-------------

Enter the following URL into the browser (TCP port depends on your HTTP 
settings):

https://localhost:8443/fedizhelloworld/secure/fedservlet

The browser is redirected to the IDP and prompts for username and password. As 
described in the IDP installation,
the following users are already set up:

User: alice   Password: ecila
User: bob     Password: bob
User: ted     Password: det


Using Eclipse to run and test the demo
--------------------------------------

run the following in the demo base directory

mvn eclipse:eclipse

Then use Import / Existing projects into workspace and browse to the 
simpleWebapp directory. Import the project.
