OSIAM is an open source identity and access management software. It allows you to manage user authentication, authorization, and user attributes from one central location. In this tutorial, we will be installing OSIAM on OpenBSD.
Before starting with the installation, make sure your OpenBSD system meets the following requirements:
First, we need to install PostgreSQL on OpenBSD. Execute the following command to install it:
$ doas pkg_add postgresql-server
Initialize the database:
$ doas mkdir /var/postgresql/data
$ doas chown _postgresql:_postgresql /var/postgresql/data
$ doas su - _postgresql -c '/usr/local/bin/initdb -D /var/postgresql/data'
Start the PostgreSQL service:
$ doas rcctl enable postgresql
$ doas rcctl start postgresql
Install Java by executing the following command:
$ doas pkg_add openjdk
Download the latest version of OSIAM from the official website:
$ cd /tmp
$ ftp http://dl.bintray.com/osiam/downloads/osiam/3.0.0/osiam-3.0.0.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded archive:
$ tar -zxvf osiam-3.0.0.tar.gz
Set the database connection properties by editing the application.properties file:
$ cd osiam-3.0.0/
$ vi target/osiam-3.0.0/application.properties
Change spring.datasource.url property to the following:
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/osiam
Set the database username and password by changing spring.datasource.username and spring.datasource.password properties.
Build the OSIAM project with Maven:
$ mvn package
Start the OSIAM server:
$ java -jar target/osiam-3.0.0/osiam-3.0.0.war
The OSIAM server should now be running on http://localhost:8080.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install and configure OSIAM on OpenBSD. With a few simple steps, you can now manage user authentication and authorization from a single, central location.
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!
