In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OSIAM on Fedora Server Latest. OSIAM is an open-source identity and access management platform that can manage authentication, authorization, and user management.
Before starting, you need to have the following:
The OSIAM platform requires Java 8 or later to be installed on your system. To check if Java is already installed on your system, run the following command in the terminal:
java -version
If Java is not installed or your version is lower than Java 8, you can install it with the following command:
sudo dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk
After the installation, verify the Java version again:
java -version
Go to the OSIAM website at http://osiam.github.io/ and download the latest version of the OSIAM Server. You can also use the following command to download it directly from the terminal:
wget https://github.com/osiam/osiam/releases/latest/download/osiam-server.tar.gz
After the download is complete, navigate to the directory where the download file is located and extract it with the following command:
tar xvzf osiam-server.tar.gz
OSIAM uses the configuration file osiam-server.conf to define the settings of the server. Copy the example configuration file to create your own configuration file:
cd osiam-server/conf
cp osiam-server.conf.example osiam-server.conf
Next, edit the osiam-server.conf file with your favorite text editor, and configure the settings to match your requirements. For example, you might want to change the following settings:
osiam.endpoint.security.client_authenticator: Choose the type of client authentication to use.osiam.endpoint.security.resource_set_authenticator: Choose the type of resource set authenticator to use.osiam.storage.datasource.url: Set the JDBC connection URL for the database.osiam.storage.datasource.username: Set the username for the database.osiam.storage.datasource.password: Set the password for the database.OSIAM requires a database to store its data. You can use any SQL-based database with OSIAM, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle.
In this tutorial, we will use MySQL as an example. If you don't have MySQL installed, you can install it with the following command:
sudo dnf install mysql-server
Start the MySQL service:
sudo systemctl start mysqld
Next, log in to the MySQL server with the following command:
sudo mysql -u root
Create a new database for OSIAM:
CREATE DATABASE osiam;
Create a new user with full access to the OSIAM database:
CREATE USER 'osiam' IDENTIFIED BY 'osiam_password';
GRANT ALL ON osiam.* TO 'osiam';
Exit the MySQL console with the following command:
exit
Before starting the OSIAM Server, you need to initialize the database schema with the following commands:
cd ../../bin
./db-migration.sh update
Start the OSIAM Server with the following command:
./start-server.sh
The server should start, and you should see log messages in the terminal. You can stop the server with the following command:
./stop-server.sh
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/osiam. You should now see the OSIAM login page.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install the OSIAM Server on a Fedora Server Latest installation, configure the server, create a MySQL database, and start the server. With OSIAM, you can implement a secure and flexible identity and access management solution for your organization.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
