Simply copy the exploded (unpacked) EAR archive to the deploy folder of the Application Server. Also copy additional libraries to the appropriate lib folder of the AS (lib folder location depands of the chosen AS configuration).

Configuring SSL auth via glite-trustmanager

If SSL is used (recommended!) configuring JEE AS to support it is necessary. Certificate based authorization relies on glite-trustmanager library. In order to configure it, for web containers based on tomcat, server.xml configuration file needs to be modified. 

Manual tomcat configuration:

server.xml:

8080 port:
- comment out the 8080 port definition

8443 port:
- remove comment around 8443 port definition
- change clientAuth from false to true
- add lines (with proper values):
-------------------------
               sSLImplementation="org.glite.security.trustmanager.tomcat.TMSSLImplementation"
               sslCAFiles="/etc/grid-security/certificates/*.0"
               crlFiles="/etc/grid-security/certificates*.r0"
               sslCertFile="/etc/grid-security/hostcert.pem"
               sslKey="/etc/grid-security/hostkey.pem"
               log4jConfFile="/var/log4j-trustmanager.properties"
