Earlier I blogged about installling OpenDS on Mac OS X.
Installing Sun Identity Manager 7.1 is just as easy with a minor tweak.
The “lh” script that sets up an environment for subsequent Java commands, is only aware of Unix, Linux and Windows.
A minor edit, in red font below, is required for the lh script to recognize the Macintosh Operating System ‘Darwin’
OS=`uname -s`
if [ “$OS” = “Darwin” ]; then
ARCH=linux
ARCH_DIR=linux
elif [ “$OS” = “SunOS” ]; then
SPECIFIC_OS=`arch`
if [ “$SPECIFIC_OS” = “i86pc” ]; then
ARCH=solaris/x86
ARCH_DIR=solaris/x86
else
ARCH=solaris/sparc
ARCH_DIR=solaris/sparc
fi
elif [ “$OS” = “AIX” ]; then
ARCH=aix
ARCH_DIR=aix
elif [ “$OS” = “HP-UX” ]; then
ARCH=hpux
ARCH_DIR=hpux
else
ARCH=winnt
ARCH_DIR=win
fi
Thus, the standard procedure to install is as follows:
unzip IDM_7_1_0.zip unzip the download
cd IDM_7_1_0
cd db_scripts setup the database tables
mysql -u root < create_waveset_tables.mysql
( copy the mysql driver to WEB-INF/lib )
mkdir idm create a staging directory
mv idm.war idm
cd idm
jar -xvf idm.war unjar the .war file
export WSHOME=/Applications/idm set WSHOME
cd bin
( edit the “lh” script as per below )
chmod +x lh
./lh setup run setup
./lh setRepo -tMysql -ujdbc:mysql://localhost/waveset run setrepo
cd ../sample
../bin/lh import init.xml import init.xml
jar -cvf /Applications/idm.war * create a new .war file
./asadmin deploy /Applications/idm.war deploy to the application server
