If you haven’t gotten started with the newer version of ForgeRock OpenIG, the following Video might be of some help. I’ve done this before, but using now an older version of the Product. So if you are familiar with that, then this gives you an assurance that everything continues to work as before, and that there is more to it (that’s a story for another day though). So if you haven’t gotten your hands dirty with ForgeRock’s Identity Gateway solution, I invite you to have a look at it, and everything that you may need to get started with it, you will find it in the video below.
Very quickly, let me tell what’s done in the Screen-cast:
– Install Jetty
– Deploy ForgeRock OpenIG in Jetty
– Install Minimal HTTP Server
– Configure ForgeRock OpenIG to post user Credentials to the HTTP Server to return a User Profile Page (so the authentication process is transparent to the user.
Please note that the practice of hard-coding the User Credential is something that you’ll probably never see in a real world scenario, but of course the intent here is only to get a rough idea of what the OpenIG can do. The illustration below might give you a decent idea on the flow:
The video, I’m confident, will make it more clear.Enjoy!
