Lessons in Web Access Management – Josso – Part 1
by actionjack on February 20, 2012 | 3 comments
I’m currently looking for a Web Access Management tool to manage and control access to a number of hosted applications.
Wikipedia defines Web Access Management as:
Authentication Management
Policy-based Authorizations
Audit & Reporting Services
Single sign-on Convenience
I’ve had previous experience in this space using CA’s Siteminder product but this time I want to experience some “open” alternatives where the information on the use and configuration of the product isn’t as limited and the costs aren’t as great.
Initially I thought I’d have a look at JOSSO (Java Open Single Sign On)
Installing Josso
Download josso-ce-2.2.x.tar.gz from sf.net
cd /opt
tar zxvf /path/to/josso-ce-2.2.x.tar.gz
chown -R josso: /opt/josso-ce-2.2.x
su - josso
cd /opt/josso-ce-2.2.x/bin
./atricore
atricore: JAVA_HOME not set; results may vary

How to run the jar files? I try java -jar josso-x.x.x.jar and it’s error. I’m a newbie in java apps 🙂

Hi Panji, I can’t remember off the top of my head but I think Josso run’s in a java container like Jetty or Tomcat, so you will need either of those to deploy the jar file to.
