Make sure OpenAM is installed, running, that you can contact OpenAM from the system running the policy agent. Next, create a profile for your policy agent as described in the Administration Guide section on Creating Agent Profiles. To protect resources with the agent also create at least one policy as described in the section on Configuring Policies. 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.
You must install Apache HTTP Server before you install the policy agent, and you must stop the server during installation.
You must install a supported version of the Java runtime environment.
Please review the
OpenAM Release Notes for the currently supported version
of Java, and set the JAVA_HOME environment
variable accordingly. The policy agent installer requires Java.
$ echo $JAVA_HOME /path/to/java $ which java /usr/bin/java
Go to Obtaining OpenAM Software 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.
Unzip the file in the directory where you plan to install the web policy agent. The agent you install stores its configuration and logs under this directory.
When you unzip the policy agent .zip download, you find the following
directories under the web_agents/apache22_agent
directory.
