These are the resources required to build an OpenConext Virtual Machine.
OpenConext is the completely Open Source version of the educational collaboration platform that is used in the Netherlands, SURFconext. For more information regarding OpenConext, refer to the documentation at http://www.openconext.org
You can either use a VM instance you created yourself (read on), or use our complete procedure to create one.
Prerequisites: a VM running CentOS 6 or RedHat EL 6.
From within the VM, download this repo:
curl https://nodeload.github.com/OpenConext/OpenConext-vm/tar.gz/master | tar zx
Run the install script:
bash OpenConext-vm-master/scripts/install_openconext.sh
By default, the installer will run an 'unattended' setup, choosing sensible defaults.
If you want to install a specific version of the platform, install a subset of components or change the default domain (demo.openconext.org), run the installer with a -i flag:
bash OpenConext-vm-master/scripts/install_openconext.sh -i
The installer ends with a message suggesting to add an entry to your hosts-file (that is: of the VM-host). Follow this suggestion if you want to use the OpenConext service from outside of the VM..
Point your browser to the welcome-URL, as mentioned by the installer. Install the CA's certificate in your browser as mentioned on that page.
You can now use the following OpenConext components:
- OpenConext Profile
- OpenConext Manage
- OpenConext ServiceRegistry
- OpenConext Teams
- OpenConext Api
- OpenConext Mujina-SP
To login in on the several Service Providers you can choose OpenConext Mujina IdP from the WAYF and login with admin / secret.
If you want to make modifications to the components a Samba share is available at:
smb://172.18.5.2/www
username: openconext
password: openconext
If you want to query or update the database you will have to open up port 3306. Type in a VM shell:
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT
The MySQL root-password is c0n3xt.
