OSIAM is an open source, extensible, and easy-to-use identity management system. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install OSIAM on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

1. A running FreeBSD server.
2. A user with sudo privileges. (recommended)
3. Basic knowledge of command line.

Installation

Step 1: Update FreeBSD

Firstly, update your FreeBSD system by running the following command:

sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade

Step 2: Install JDK

OSIAM requires JDK to be installed as a prerequisite. Install JDK using the following command:

sudo pkg install openjdk8

Step 3: Install Apache Tomcat

Apache Tomcat is a web server required to run OSIAM. Install it using the following command:

sudo pkg install tomcat

Step 4: Download and Install OSIAM

1. Create a new directory to host the OSIAM installation files:

mkdir osiam
cd osiam

2. Download the latest version of OSIAM from the official website:

fetch https://github.com/osiam/osiam/releases/download/OSIAM_3_1/osiam-server-3.1.war

3. Create a new directory for OSIAM:

sudo mkdir /usr/local/tomcat/osiam

4. Copy the downloaded file in the newly created directory and rename it to osiam-server.war:

sudo cp osiam-server-3.1.war /usr/local/tomcat/osiam/osiam-server.war

Step 5: Create a new Tomcat User

Create a new Tomcat user for OSIAM by creating a new file named osiam.xml in the Tomcat's conf/Catalina/localhost directory and add the following content:

<Context reloadable="false" antiResourceLocking="false">
  <Resource name="jdbc/osiam" auth="Container"
            type="javax.sql.DataSource"
            driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver"
            url="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/osiam"
            username="postgres"
            password="your_password_here"
            maxActive="20" maxIdle="10"
            validationQuery="SELECT 1" />
  <Environment name="ldapUrl" value="ldap://localhost:10389" type="java.lang.String" />
  <Environment name="ldapUser" value="uid=admin,ou=system" type="java.lang.String" />
  <Environment name="ldapPassword" value="your_password_here" type="java.lang.String" />
  <Environment name="tokenIssuer" value="http://localhost:8080/osiam-server" type="java.lang.String" />
  <Environment name="userEndpoint" value="http://localhost:8080/osiam-server" type="java.lang.String" />
  <Environment name="resourceServerEndpoint" value="http://localhost:8080/osiam-server" type="java.lang.String" />
  <Environment name="clientId" value="osiam-trusted-client" type="java.lang.String" />
  <Environment name="clientSecret" value="secret" type="java.lang.String" />
</Context>

Note: Replace "your_password_here" in ldapPassword and password with your preferred passwords.

Step 6: Start Apache Tomcat

Start Apache Tomcat using the following command:

sudo service tomcat start

Step 7: Verify OSIAM Installation

Verify the successful installation of OSIAM by visiting http://localhost:8080/osiam-server/ on your web browser. If you see a login page, it means the installation of OSIAM has been successful.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have successfully installed OSIAM on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use OSIAM to manage user identities effectively without any hassle.
