Get Off My Case if You Can't Export OpenSSO Configuration Data

I wanted to export the configuration data on my install of OpenSSO so I went back to the directory that was created after I expanded opensso.zip to setup the ssoadm command line utility. Here are the steps I followed.

  1. Set JAVA_HOME and PATH variables to point to the correct version of Java; in this case, version 1.5. 
    # JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_14
# export JAVA_HOME
# PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH;
# export PATH

  2. Create a directory into which you will expand the ssoAdminTools.zip. 
    # mkdir /ssoadmtool

  3. Unzip ssoAdminTools.zip into the top-level directory created. 
    # cd /opensso/tools
# unzip ssoAdminTools.zip -d /ssoadmtool
# cd /ssoadmtool
# ls -la
total 320
drwxr-xr-x   6 root     root          10 Mar 31 10:42 .
drwxr-xr-x  42 root     root          47 Mar 31 08:16 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        4796 Mar 18 01:31 README.setup
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root          25 Mar 18 03:55 lib
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       17003 Mar 18 01:31 license.txt
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     root           3 Mar 31 10:42 opensso
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root        1161 Mar 18 03:55 resources
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        2638 Mar 18 01:31 setup
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        3182 Mar 18 01:31 setup.bat
drwxr-xr-x   4 root     root           4 Mar 18 01:31 template

  4. Run setup from the top-level ssoadmtool directory. 
    # ./setup

Path to config files of OpenSSO server (example: /opensso):/opensso
Debug Directory:/opensso/debug
Log Directory:/opensso/log
The scripts are properly setup under directory: /ssoAdmin/opensso
Debug directory is /opensso/debug.
Log directory is /opensso/log.
The version of this tools.zip is: (2009-March-18 01:14)
The version of your server instance is: (2009-March-18 01:14)

  5. Run ssoadm using the export-svc-cfg option.

    ./ssoadm export-svc-cfg -e secretenckey -o /var/tmp/config.xml -u amadmin -f /tmp/password

    • e defines the key that will be used to encrypt any sensitive information in the configuration data store.
    • o defines the name and location of the XML file to which the configuration data will be written.
    • u defines the OpenSSO administrator; by default, amadmin.
    • f defines the name and location of the file that contains the OpenSSO administrator's password.

    config.xml is created in /var/tmp and contains the configuration data stored in the OpenSSO embedded configuration data store.
Now I'm exporting (-o you) the loveliness that is the Comateens singing Get Off My Case in the old train station in Hoboken, New Jersey. They are a great band singing in a great city in an OK state. And I would know - I lived in Hoboken for three years.

Aloha!
I was following Indira's instructions, Using OpenDS as user store for OpenSSO http://blogs.sun.com/indira/entry/using_opends_as_user_store

Now for my issue, I've completed steps 1 thru 3. The problem is with step 4. After unzipping ssoAminTools.zip, then running the setup script to get the ssoadm tool, I get the following:

bash-3.00# ./setup
Path to config files of OpenSSO server (example: /opensso):/opensso
Debug Directory:/opensso/debug
Log Directory:/opensso/log
/opensso/bootstrap (No such file or directory)
bash-3.00#

Any assistance would be appreciated!
Thank you!
