Embedding openDS

Currently this work has not been completed. It is mostly a convenience for the quickstart as most organizations will wish to connect to an already existing directory service.

However, as we make more use of CardDAV it may make sense to have a directory service embedded in jboss for bedework entities.

OpenDS is used by jboss and is an option for their portal. The JBoss portal project has been discontinued and superseded by GateIn. However, this is built on the jboss portal 2.6.0 distribution. (Does not work with 2.7.0)

Steps go like:

Get portal source

  svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/portal/tags/JBoss_Portal_2_6_0/ jboss-portal-2.6.0-src

Get jboss AS

Download zip file and unpack

Build the portal

cd jboss-portal-2.6.0-src/
./build/build.sh

Install in AS

export JBOSS_HOME=where you unpacked the application server
./identity/build.sh deploy-ldap
