SimpleSAMLphp setup on Windows 2008 – Install PHP

The application runs on PHP, so it will need to be installed on the server for Windows to run the scripts.
You should be able to go here for the latest PHP installer for IIS: http://php.iis.net/
Use the Web Platform Installer to automate the installation and configuration of PHP on your server.  You could do it manually, but it’s a pain.  The installer should be able to be found here;  http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx
Version 5.6.0 was used at the time of this writing.
Find the version of PHP you want to install and click the Add button.  Example: PHP 5.6.0.
WebPlatformInstaller
If dependent components are missing, they will be listed to be included with the PHP installation.  Go ahead and click the “I Accept” button.
WpiPrerequisites
After the installation completes, you’ll be presented with a summary page of the pieces that were installed.  Click on Finish.

PhpSetup
Click on the “Enable or disable and extension” link.
PhpExtensionsLink
Use “Enable or disable and extension” to drill down and enable LDAP Extension:
EnableLdap1
EnableLdap2
LDAP will be the protocol used by SimpleSAMLphp to get user information from Active Directory when authenticating.
Next we will look at installing the SimpleSAMLphp application.

How to set $JAVA_HOME variable on Linux

Article based on:

  • Linux Mint 14
  • Java 1.7

Should work on any Linux and Java version: Ubuntu, RedHat, CentOS, SUSE, ArchLinux, Debian, Fedora etc.

1. Install Java

If you have already installed Java then skip to point 3.

Before continue make sure you don’t have installed Java.

Open terminal and invoke:

whereis java

command. If you do not have Java then you will see:

java:

That will mean you DONT have Java.

Download Java from here or use your package manager to install it.

2. Java location

By default Java is located in

/usr/lib/jvm/java-<version>

directory.

3. Set $JAVA_HOME variable

To set JAVA_HOME only in actual shell session, invoke command:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-<version>

To persist this environment variable edit vi ~/.bash_profile file, and add JAVA_HOME definition:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-<version>

Save and relogin to apply changes.

Automatically Close an Incident when Resolved and Bypass Customer Verification

Open the SD.IncidentManagement workflow.

On the Main Incident Work model, create a SkipCustConfirm variable in the Input Data section and set it to True.  Between the Close Cose=QuickClose component and the Customer Confirmation component, add a Matches Rule and configure SkipCustConfirm = False and no match output to the Customer Confirmation component.  Copy the Set Process State/Status, Expose Workflow Tracking ID, SatisfyOverallSLA, and Save External Data components.  Paste those so that the Matches Rule True output goes into that chain.  Take the output of the chain and link it to the End component.  The Customer is no longer notified that their incident is Resolved.

In the Initial Diagnosis sub-model, create a SkipCustConfirm variable in the Input Data section and set it to True.  In the two instances where where the ProcessStatusComponent is set for Resolved at 90%, inset a Matches Rule bypass and set the ProcessStatusComponent to Closed at 100%.  When a technician resolves an incident, it will now set it to Closed.  The Customer needs to Reopen an incident if it is not really Resolved.
