OpenSSO is a self-contained J2EE application and the installation is a breeze. Here's the detailed steps.

1.  Create a base directory. "/opensso_bits"

2.  Install GlassFish. If you already have GlassFish running, go to step-4.

3.  Create a GlassFish domain - "fam".

To Create new GlassFish domain.  
Create "/tmp/passfile" with following content,
AS_ADMIN_ADMINPASSWORD=adminadmin
AS_ADMIN_MASTERPASSWORD=changeit

Create glassfish domain with the following commandline
./asadmin create-domain --adminuser admin --passwordfile /tmp/passfile --portbase 7000 fam

4.  Start Glassfish instance and make the following changes to the instance on which opensso is being deployed (fam)

cd <GLASSFISH_HOME>/bin
./asadmin start-domain fam

./asadmin delete-jvm-options  --port 7048 --user admin "\\-client"
./asadmin create-jvm-options  --port 7048 --user admin "\\-server"

./asadmin delete-jvm-options  --port 7048 --user admin "\\-Xmx512m"
./asadmin create-jvm-options  --port 7048 --user admin "\\-Xmx1G"

5.  Important (Optional for first time opensso install on a system).

If you already have opensso deployed and configured on the GlassFish instance,

- Undeploy opensso (via GlassFish admin console)
- Delete the configuration directory, as used during the previous configuration. (e.g. rm -rf /opensso)
- Delete the Access Manager directory (Usually in the users home directory). (e.g. rm -rf /AccessManager)

6.  Restart the glassfish instance.

cd <GLASSFISH_HOME>/bin
./asadmin stop-domain fam
./asadmin start-domain fam

7.  Deploy OpenSSO on the Glassfish domain "fam".

- Go to Glassfish admin console. (http://<host>.<domain>:7048)
- Login as admin/adminadmin
- On left nav bar, click on "Web Applications"
- Click on "Deploy".
- Browse and locate opensso.war ( "/opensso_bits/opensso/deployable_war/opensso.war" )
- Under "General"
- Application Name - opensso
- Context Root - opensso

- Click "Ok"

8.  Go to the deoployed opensso instance.

- Under "Custom Configuration", select "Create New Configuration".
- General
- Password - <password for amadmin>
- Confirm Password - <same as above>

Server Settings (Most of the following are populated by the installer and can be left as it is.)
