Purpose

Here is a guide to help you install Assertion Manager.

Requirements

  • Debian squeeze or ubuntu 12.04 64bits with an Internet access.
  • Database : PostGresql 8.4
  • Java virtual machine : JDK 1.6 or other
  • Application server : Jboss 5.1.0-GA
    • It must be installed in: /usr/local/jboss
    • A server named gazelle must be here: /usr/local/jboss/server/gazelle/

To install those requirements you can run this as root: 

wget https://gazelle.ihe.net/jenkins/job/gazelle-public-release/ws/gazelle-tm-ear/src/main/scripts/setup.sh
chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh

Quick start

Assertion manager can be installed 

As a gazelle user on your server:

wget https://gazelle.ihe.net/jenkins/job/AssertionManager-Gui-SNAPSHOT/ws/install_assertion_manager_gui.sh
chmod +x install_assertion_manager_gui.sh
sudo install_assertion_manager_gui.sh

It will: 

  • Backup the previous EAR
  • Get the latest released version of Assertion Manager and deploy it in your jboss.
  • Create the database if it doesn't exists.

Insert configuration values

Go to insert configuration values chapter to configure your Assertion manager

Restart Jboss service

sudo service jboss restart

Assertion manager is now deployed.

Compile from sources

The following chapters will explain how to build and configure Assertion manager from sources.

This is useful only to change the database configuration.

Assertion Manager is an open source project under Apache2 licence. The sources are available on the INRIA's Forge:

sudo apt-get install maven2 subversion
svn checkout svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/gazelle/Maven/gazelle-assertion-gui/trunk/ assertion-manager-gui
svn checkout svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/gazelle/Maven/gazelle-assertion-gui/trunk/ assertion-manager
cd assertion-manager
mvn clean install
cd ../assertion-manager-gui
mvn clean package -U -Pproduction

If maven cannot download dependencies checkout the maven configuration guide: https://gazelle.ihe.net/content/development-support-tools

Database creation and initialization

The names of the databases are defined in the pom.xml file. Use the following commands with the adaptations you want:

su postgres
psql
postgres=\# CREATE USER gazelle;
postgres=\# ALTER USER gazelle WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'password';
postgres=\# CREATE DATABASE "assertion-manager" OWNER gazelle ENCODING UTF-8;
postgres=\# CREATE DATABASE "assertion-manager-gui" OWNER gazelle ENCODING UTF-8;
postgres=\# \\q
exit

Insert configuration values

Configuration can be done through the Administration interface, or with a sql script

Each time a configuration is modified, the application needs to be restarted.

To restart the application there are 2 options:

  • Restart jboss: sudo service jboss restart
  • Touch the ear: touch /pathToJbossServer/deploy/AssertionManagerGui.ear

Here is the list of configuration variables that must be defined: 

Variable Default value Description
application_url http://server_domain:8080/AssertionManager URL to reach the tool
application_works_without_cas true Indicates authentication mechanism to use
ip_login true Indicates authentication mechanism to use
ip_login_admin .* Pattern to grant users as admin based on their IP address
cas_url Not defined URL of the CAS service
upload_max_size 100000000 Used to limit uploaded files size
assertion_manager_rest_path_to_assertion /testAssertion/assertion do not change
assertion_manager_rest_url https://server_domain:8080/AssertionManagerGui/rest  update server_domain:8080 to fit your needs.

To insert values with a sql script, connect to the database

su postgres
psql assertion-manager-gui

Then copy paste the folowing script:

SET statement\_timeout = 0;
SET lock\_timeout = 0;
SET client\_encoding = 'UTF8';
SET standard\_conforming\_strings = on;
SET check\_function\_bodies = false;
SET client\_min\_messages = warning;
SET search\_path = public, pg\_catalog;
SET default\_tablespace = '';
SET default\_with\_oids = false;

Compile

Before compiling, go to the directory gazelle-tm and edit the file pom.xml. Open this file and adapt the properties of profile prod to your case :

  • jdbc.connection.url : jdbc:postgresql:assertion-manager-gui
  • jdbc.connection.url2 : jdbc:postgresql:assertion-manager
  • jdbc.connection.user / jdbc.connection.password : credentials for database access

Then, create the EAR archive with the command line:

cd assertion-manager
mvn install
cd ..
cd assertion-manager-gui
mvn clean package -Pproduction

The archive (EAR) and the distribution file are created and placed into assertion-manager-gui/AssertionManagerGui-ear/target directory.

Deployment

Copy the AssertionManagerGui.ear into the "server/gazelle/deploy" directory of your JBoss server. Finally, start your server.

When the application is deployed, open a browser and go to http://yourserver/AssertionManagerGui.

If the deployment and the database initialization are successful you should see the home page.
