... OpenID Infocards / Infocard-OP : INSTALL

========================================================================

INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS


Introduction:

This document describes how to install, configure and use the Infocard
OpenID Provider, a stripped-down version of an OpenID Provider.

Used together with an STS that can issue RSTRs with OpenID tokens
(as specified by OpenID Infocards 1.0), this OP module only handles
direct OpenID verification requests (openid.mode=check_authentication).
   
For general information about the OpenID Infocards package please see the
README document in the package root folder.


Configuration:

  1. SQL/JDBC

    a) A JDBC Connector library installed into your application server:

        MySQL and Tomcat example:
            http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/
            mysql-connector-java-*.jar installed in CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/

    b) Database with one table for storing OpenID private associations,
       with the following schema:

      CREATE TABLE `private_assoc` (
          `handle` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
          `type` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
          `mackey` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
          `expdate` datetime NOT NULL,
          PRIMARY KEY  (`handle`)
      ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1

      This database needs to be shared with the 'higgins-sts' webapp.

    c) Application server configured with a JDBC data source
       with the following JNDI name:

            java:comp/env/jdbc/infocardop

       Tomcat example:
       infocardop/project/www/META-INF/context.xml

         <Resource name="jdbc/infocardop" auth="Container"
            type="javax.sql.DataSource"
            maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
            username="infocardop" password="infocardop"
            driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
            url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/infocardop?autoReconnect=true"/>


Build and Installation:

  In the project/ folder, run

    ant

  This will create deployable dist/infocardop.war file.
