Enabling OpenID client app

Starting from Crowd version 3.6.2, OpenID client application will be disabled from deployment by default. However, you can still reenable this app on your staging environment by following steps bellow.

For security reasons OpenID client app shouldn’t be deployed on production environment.

Note regarding DC versions: Following procedure is related to a single node. If you’re running cluster with many nodes then to deploy OpenID client app on every of them you need to perform following procedure on each node.

  1. Stop Tomcat container (if running) by executing following script:

     {CROWD_INSTALL}/stop_crowd.sh
  2. Create following file by running:

    touch {CROWD_INSTALL}/apache-tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/openidclient.xml

    and fill the newly created file with the following content:

    <Context docBase="../../crowd-openidclient-webapp" />
  3. Start Tomcat container by running following script:

    {CROWD_INSTALL}/start_crowd.sh
  4. OpenID client app should be now accessible on the following endpoint:

    http://{CROWD_HOST}:{PORT_NUMBER}/openidclient
