Installation in Unix

Installation is pretty simple, the only thing you need is to install Java JRE 1.8

1. Install Java JRE or JDK version 1.8

2. Create local user “laps” – this user will be used to run portal service:

   useradd laps --shell /sbin/nologin --no-create-home
   

3. Create working directory for LAPS WebPortal and extract distributive:

   mkdir /opt/laps
   unzip /tmp/laps.zip /opt/laps
   

4. Change an owner of the directory and set correct access rights:

   chown -R laps:laps /opt/laps
   chmod –R u=rx,g=rx,o-rwx /opt/laps
   chmod u+w /opt/laps/wrapper/tmp
   chmod u+w /opt/laps/logs
   chmod u+w /opt/laps/conf
   chmod u+w /opt/laps/keystore
   

5. If java executable is not on PATH set correct path to java executable in /opt/laps/wrapper/conf/wrapper.conf:

   wrapper.java.command = path_to_java_executable
   

6. Install LAPS portal service. New service “laps” will be created.:

   /opt/laps/wrapper/sh/installDaemon.sh
   systemctl daemon-reload
   

7. Run the service:

   service laps start
