ABAC Findings

ABAC How-to

Downloaded the ABAC Web Service Installation Manual and the ABAC V1.0 software for supporting the ABAC mechanisms within ProtoGENI. Unpacked the software package

 $ tar xvzf abac-1.0.tar.gz
 $ cd abac-1.0

The package includes the following INSTALL text file:

 Please see the installation manual located at:
 http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/ABAC

 Please see the INSTALL and README files in abac-src for more details.

 The reference-cm-2.0.2a contain both a modified (2.0.2a) and unmodified (2.0.2)
 version. Installation of the modified version should be identical to the un-
 modified version at:
 http://www.protogeni.net/trac/protogeni/wiki/ReferenceCM

 Test scripts for the reference-cm are available at:
 http://www.protogeni.net/trac/protogeni/wiki/TestScripts

In addion two more tgz files are includes which were unpacked:

 $ tar xvzf abac-1.0.tar.gz 
 $ tar xvzf reference-cm-2.0.2a.tar.gz 

The abac-src/README file states:

To build and deploy ABAC, Apache tomcat is needed. 
Note: default tomcat location is /usr/local/tomcat5.5

1. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable

        export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.6.0

2. Check out the sources from subversion

        svn co http://fedd.isi.deterlab.net/svn/abac-src/trunk abac-src

3. Build the main ABAC library

        ant compile

4. Build the wsdl classes and create ws-abac.jar 

        ant wsdl        # automatically generate classes 
        ant ws-jar      # compiles wsdl classes and packages deployment jar

Note: The wsdl target should not overwrite FeddABACBindingImpl.java and you 
should see the following output:

[java] FeddABACBindingImpl.java already exists, WSDL2Java will not overwrite it.

5. As root deploy the jar and deployment descriptor

        sudo ant deploy

Note: server-config.wsdd appears in the directory from which
ant is run. This means that if you invoke ant from the wsdl directory, it will 
deploy the jar file but not the wsdd file and the target will fail.


6. Reload the axis webapp from a page similar to:

        https://localhost:8443/manager/html

   Click reload on the right.
   Click the name axis (or the axis deployment directory)
