The detailed steps to configure mysql with openam7 in ubuntu 22.04

Answer 1

Generally these type of requests don't do well on Stack, people, myself included, like seeing what someone tried and which part of their process isn't working. But count yourself lucky that I recently had to do this and I've got the steps on hand. So without knowing where you got stuck I'm just going to give all the steps that worked for me.

But if you do get stuck after this, be sure to share what you tried, where you got stuck, and if you have any error codes share them also. Then the community will happily help you.

Good luck!

Create a MySQL database for OpenAM to use

mysql -u root -p CREATE DATABASE openam;

Create a MySQL user for OpenAM to use

CREATE USER 'openamuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON openam.* TO 'openamuser'@'localhost'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Download and install OpenAM7 on Ubuntu 22.04

wget https://github.com/OpenIdentityPlatform/OpenAM/releases/download/7.0.0/XUI-7.0.0.war
sudo mv XUI-7.0.0.war /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/openam.war

Configure OpenAM7 to use the MySQL database

sudo nano /etc/tomcat8/Catalina/localhost/openam.xml

Replace the existing element with the following

Restart the Tomcat service

sudo service tomcat8 restart
