These steps describe how to install Federation Services to an instance of Alfresco Content Services.
You can download the release files from Hyland Community by navigating to Support > Software Downloads > Alfresco Downloads.
-
Download the files provided for the Federation Services release. This should include the
following:
- AFS-federation.war
- AFS-admin.war
- Copy the Federation Services Admin and discovery WAR files or expanded ZIP to the Tomcat installation directory, /Tomcat/webapps.
- Start Tomcat.
- Navigate to the mongo-db.properties file, Tomcat/webapps/3Sixty/Admin/WEB-INF/classes/mongo-db.properties.
-
Set the credentials for the user and the database connection details.
Depending on what database you created the admin user in, you may have to append the database name to the end of the URI. This is the authenticating database.
The following example configuration assumes you followed the previous steps exactly:
mongo.db.username=simflofy mongo.db.password=#whatever password you set during mongo user creation mongo.db.uri=mongodb://[[USER]]:[[PASS]]@localhost:27017/simflofy
- In the same folder, open simflofy-global.properties and check if all of the ‘initialize’ properties are set to true. If not, set them to true and save the file.
- If you have a shared loader enabled in Tomcat, move the global properties files to the shared/classes folder. Now the properties files will persist after redeploying the WAR.
- Restart Tomcat.
- In simflofy-global.properties set initialize properties to false.
-
Copy and paste the following into your browser:
http://(servername):(port)/3sixty-admin
The default Federation Services username/password is admin/admin.
- Access the Admin app through your preferred browser to configure your installation.
