Here are steps for after Grouper is installed and prior to going live in the production environment. For a more extensive overview, see also the Planning Guide.
- Review the Grouper Deployment Guide.
- Go to the the UI and create folders, groups, attributes, permissions, etc. Here are some examples of designs for groups and folders.
- Further configure Grouper via the API.
...
- Set up Web Services. Note you need to configure how you want authentication to work. E.g. at Penn we do HTTP basic auth which does a kerberos bind based on the kerberos service principal sent in. This module is included in Grouper. Penn also has a DB table for kerberos principals and a subject source to read them. We have a proprietary UI to manage these.
- Set up the Provisioning Service Provider (PSP) in Framework in order to provision groups, memberships and stems/folders.
Q: Where can I see an example of using build scripts to set up various environments after using the Grouper Installer?
A: Here is an example from Penn on Managing Grouper in Multiple Environments (note that this example uses ant, not Maven)
