Issue/Introduction

How can we create Wildfly for Identity Portal as a service on Linux?

An example of configuring the service is below, but please note that running Wildfly as a service is not a functionality of Identity Portal, it is a linux and wildfly configuration. Please contact your Wildly application server support team and/or your operating system administrator for further assistance.  

Environment

Identity Portal 14.5

Wildfly 23

Resolution

Configuring Identity Portal on Wildfly as an RH Linux Service.

Ensure wildfly-portal folder is owned by wildfly user. If not, then set ownership.

 

# chown -RH wildfly:root /opt/CA/wildfly-portal/

 

Login as root

 

$ sudo su -

 

Create a directory 'wildfly-portal' at /etc which will hold the WildFly configuration file:

 

# mkdir -p /etc/wildfly-portal

 

Copy the configuration file 'wildfly.conf' to the /etc/wildfly-portal directory:

 

# cp -p /opt/CA/wildfly-portal/docs/contrib/scripts/systemd/wildfly.conf /etc/wildfly-portal/

 

Next copy the WildFly 'launch.sh' from  /opt/CA/wildfly-portal/docs/contrib/scripts/systemd/ to the /opt/CA/wildfly-portal/bin/ directory as launch-portal.sh:

 

# cp -p /opt/CA/wildfly-portal/docs/contrib/scripts/systemd/launch.sh /opt/CA/wildfly-portal/bin/launch-portal.sh

 

Modify launch-portal.sh for WILDFLY_HOME

 

# vi /opt/CA/wildfly-portal/bin/launch-portal.sh

 

Before edit file will look like...

 

#!/bin/bash

 

if [ "x$WILDFLY_HOME" = "x" ]; then

WILDFLY_HOME="/opt/wildfly"

fi

 

if [[ "$1" == "domain" ]]; then

$WILDFLY_HOME/bin/domain.sh -c $2 -b $3

else

$WILDFLY_HOME/bin/standalone.sh -c $2 -b $3

fi

 

After edit file will look like...

 

#!/bin/bash

 

if [ "x$WILDFLY_HOME" = "x" ]; then

WILDFLY_HOME="/opt/CA/wildfly-portal"

fi

 

if [[ "$1" == "domain" ]]; then

$WILDFLY_HOME/bin/domain.sh -c $2 -b $3

else

$WILDFLY_HOME/bin/standalone.sh -c $2 -b $3

fi

 

Save and exit file launch.sh (ESC Shift : wq! Enter)

 

Copy the systemd unit file 'wildfly.service' from /opt/CA/wildfly-portal/docs/contrib/scripts/systemd/ to the /etc/systemd/system/ directory as 'wildfly-portal.service' :

 

# cp -p /opt/CA/wildfly-portal/docs/contrib/scripts/systemd/wildfly.service /etc/systemd/system/wildfly-portal.service

 

Modify the 'wildfly-portal.service' file at /etc/systemd/system/ folder. Provide values for EnvironmentFile & ExecStart

 

Before edit file will look like...

Notify systemd that we created a new unit file:

# systemctl daemon-reload

Start Wildfly-portal service

# systemctl start wildfly-portal

Enable wildfly-portal service for start on boot

# systemctl enable wildfly-portal

Check status of wildfly-portal service

# systemctl status wildfly-portal
