Chapter 2. Install and Boot

The Red Hat Single Sign-On Server is contained in one distribution file:

The 'RH-SSO-7.0.0.[zip|tar.gz]' file is the server only distribution. It contains nothing other than the scripts and binaries to run the Red Hat Single Sign-On server.

To unpack these files run the unzip or gunzip and tar utilities.

To boot the Red Hat Single Sign-On server, go to the bin/ directory of the server distribution.

To boot the server:

.../bin/standalone.sh

$ .../bin/standalone.sh

> ...\bin\standalone.bat

> ...\bin\standalone.bat

After the server boots, open your browser and go to the http://localhost:8080/auth URL. The page should look like this:

Red Hat Single Sign-On does not have any configured admin account out of the box. You must create one on the Welcome Page. This account will allow you to create an admin that can log into the master realm’s administration console so that you can start creating realms, users and registering applications to be secured by Red Hat Single Sign-On.

After you create the initial admin account, click on the Administration Console link on the bottom of the Welcome Page. Alternatively you can go to the console url directly at http://localhost:8080/auth/admin/

Enter the username and password you created on the Welcome Page. This will bring you to the Red Hat Single Sign-On Admin Console.
