Install and Upgrade Manual


Configuration of system

Supported distribution is Debian Wheezy (7.x) and Debian Jessie (8.x).

Configure FQDN on Debian

Before installing ODN, make sure that value returned by hostname -f is the one under which you would like your ODN instance to be accessible. Example: If hostname -f returns "odn.myorganization.org", your ODN instance will be available at http://odn.myorganization.org/ . Note: If the hostname is not proper FQDN, some users may experience problems while accessing your ODN instance. If you are not sure how to configure FQDN on Debian system, please follow instructions at https://wiki.debian.org/HowTo/ChangeHostname .

Configuration of java for tomcat

tomcat 7 uses by default java 6 so it is necessary to change default java for tomcat. Edit /etc/default/tomcat7, update environment variable JAVA_HOME. JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64

Installation on clean system

To install packages from COMSODE Debian repository, please follow these steps:

  1. Add ODN packages repository into apt-sources-list:

  2. Add ODN public key:
    wget -O - http://packages.comsode.eu/key/odn.gpg.key | apt-key add -

  3. Update apt sources:
    aptitude update

  4. install ODN box (odn-simple package):
    aptitude install odn-simple
    The following user input is required during the installation process:

    • ldap password: whatever password can be used
    • Virtuoso password: dba

Note 1: If you want to reduce packages that are not necessary, then call
aptitude install --without-recommends odn-simple

Note 2: In case of fresh clean Debian Wheezy installation the steps described above should work, no other commands are required. However in some cases some python dependency problems has been detected (when the Debian environment was created as a result of virtualization). In such cases the following steps are required to resolve the dependency problems:

apt-get purge python\*
apt-get install python2.7-minimal  -V
apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi -V
apt-get install lsb-release  -V
apt-get install python-pkg-resources  -V
apt-get install python-pip  -V
apt-get install python-setuptools  -V
aptitude install odn-simple -V

Post-installation steps

Immediately after the installation is done, please perform the following steps:

Reset default passwords in internal part

Log in into private part of ODN and get into user management module:

  • Open browser and use link https://<hostname>/midpoint/login (where <hostname> is name/FQDN of your ODN server)
  • Log in with user name administrator and password 5ecr3t
  • Select Tools > User Management to get into ODN/midPoint

Set new password for admnistrator:

  • Select Users > List Users in the menu to the right
  • Select administrator
  • Clock Password > Change button (bottom of Details)
  • Two password fields appear, fill in new password (twice) and submit (Save)

And set new password also for casadmin by repeating last 4 steps, this time for user "casadmin".

Create accounts for usual work

While you are already present in user management part logged in as administrator, it is a good time to create regular non-administrative accounts for users which are going to regularly use ODN to publish data. Simply click Users > New User, fill in necessary details and submit. Repeat for each new user.

  • Log in with user name admin and password admin
  • Select Edit settings ("gear wheel" icon left to "logout" icon in top-right corner)
  • At the bottom, fill in new password (twice) and submit (Update Profile)
