How to run appfacotry in local machine? - wso2

I have downloaded WSO2 appfacotry and ran it locally for testing purposes. It first gives carbon login and in the running application list I could see the /appmgt jaggery application is running. Then I tried to go to the url through the link provided in Action column in that application list. Initially I was routed to http://{some_ip_address}:9763/appmgt/ and then I was re routed to https://appfactory.example.com:9443/samlsso which gives me error. (because I don't have appfacotry.example.com domain.) How can I run appfactory without this faulty URL?

Here's documentation on installing App Factory: https://docs.wso2.com/display/AF201/Installing+On-Premise
Also, note that there is now a hosted version, which you can use in the cloud with no configuration required: http://wso2.com/cloud/app-cloud/

Other than the 3rd party tools mentioned above, you need App Factory, AS, API manager, Stratos Controller and ELB to have all App Factory features

wso2is start in developer mode

I'm working with WSO2 Identity Server and I'm curious if there is a way to run the product in developer mode without building each component of identity server. I found a way to start the "My Account" component in dev mode by following this tutorial ( https://is.docs.wso2.com/en/5.11.0/develop/setting-up-my-account-in-a-dev-environment/ )
but I want to be able to modify different components such as recovery-portal and authentication-portal by forking and cloning the required github repositories and starting the entire app in developer mode in order to see the code changes in real-time.
AFAIK the developer mode will work only for the MyAccount and Console. You can refer to the doc for more details on that.
The recovery portal, the authentication portal etc. cannot be tried with the developer mode. However, there are two ways that you can try this.
Build the war files manually and add them to the WebApps directory. If the server is running, war file changes will automatically get deployed. If the server is not running, you have to delete the existing directory and restart the server.
You can do the changes to the JSPs that are deployed inside the pack. Once the changes are done, you can save the changes and the changes will automatically get deployed.

trying to setup TinyWebDB on google cloud, but deploy not working

I am trying to follow the instructions on this page, and they are working great, until the part where I deploy from my Google App Engine Launcher. When I click deploy I should see something like this:
But instead, I see something like this:
and the end result is that my app doesn't get deployed to xxxxxxx.appspot.com, it redirects me to http://localhost:8080/?code=4/EfmizPdAPVDgoSInA8mS1KVOvQTkWX4ziFnEpG3XKxA#
I'm a begginer with this kind of tech, please, any suggestions on how to troubleshoot?
Found the answer here. In my case, what worked was to first disable the app in the App Engine Launcher, and only then hit deploy. First time I tried, it authenticated, then second time I deployed, it deployed successfully. Thanks Arnie.
In case, I post his other suggestions:
1) remember to give your google id access to less secure apps.
2) remember to go to appspot.com or https://appengine.google.com/ and accept terms and conditions. Your project should also be active on https://console.developers.google.com/project
3) use correct versions of python and google app engine SDK
4) Before hitting deploy button on google app engine stop the app from running on your local host. It will NOT deploy while it is running locally on local host.

Configuring WSO2 Identity Server as Key Manager with API Manager

I'm looking for some guidance about two specific WSO2 products, API Manager and Identity Server and for the best solution to solve the problem I'm going to explain below.
In my company, we are using ADFS 3.0 for Single Sign On support in our applications. However we are now building applications that will require OpenID Connect Specification (SPA's+Rest API's) and ADFS does not support this out of the box so we've decided to use WSO2 products for that purpose.
I already managed to install WSO2 Identity Server 5.0.0 SP1 and configured ADFS as a federated Identity Provider (the new applications will still have to authenticate users using ADFS). I also installed WSO2 API Manager 1.9.1 and configured it to use WSO2 Identity Server as the Key Manager (Configuration tutorial).
Now the problem:
Using WSO2 Identity Server 5.0.0 SP1 I couldn't get the Logout feature to work due to the issue reported here. It seems that this issue has been solved in version 5.1.0M4 so I tried to install version 5.1.0-alpha and managed to make the logout to work with ADFS (I tested it by enabling SSO for the carbon administration). However, now I'm not able to install the Key Manager feature through the carbon repositories due to incompatibilities.
As a result, with the first combination (wso2is 5.0.0 SP1/wso2am 1.9.1) I had the logout issue with ADFS and with the second combination (wso2is 5.1.0-alpha/wso2am 1.9.1), I'm not able to install the Key Manager feature in Identity Server.
Is there any way to apply a patch to solve the logout issue in the first combination? Is there a way to install the key manager feature on WSO2IS 5.1.0-alpha? Or can someone point me to another solution to solve this issue?
The issue you pointed above, marked as it type as "Patch". Usually that means WSO2 have fixed this issue for a earlier version and provided a patch to its customer. Easiest thing would be, if you are already a customer of WSO2 ask for the patch directly from their support.
If you are not a paid customer of WSO2 you are in bit of a trouble. As per this question, the source of the Service Pack also not available in public.
But luckily in your case, the component which need to have this fix not a core component. So you wouldn't be in trouble if you change the authenticator code bit. But the warning is, it would lose any fixes done for org.wso2.carbon.identity.application.authenticator.samlsso_4.2.1.jar in the service pack.
Anyway, these are the steps you should follow.
Checkout the source. Lazy path would be checkout the whole source from here. That is the most easy way which you will face less troubles when you try to build the source but the downside of that is, it would take bit of time to checkout. If you know how to build specific component from WSO2 source, you can directly checkout component it needed to changed.
Try to build the component without doing any change just to make sure there are not any issues upto this point.
Goto the class DefaultSAML2SSOManager and do the same change done in the PR.
Build the component again.
Create folder named like "patch9000" inside the <IS_HOME>/repository/components/patches/ folder.
Copy build jar (org.wso2.carbon.identity.application.authenticator.samlsso-4.2.1.jar ) in step 4 from the target folder to the <IS_HOME>/repository/components/patches/patch9000 folder.
Restart the server. If you have done everything to the point, in the server startup it would print a log like, org.wso2.carbon.server.extensions.PatchInstaller - Patch changes detected
Now retry the your flow and it would work as expected.
If you too lazy to do all above, you can wait until Identity Server Service Pack 2, which will have your fix.

Rest Web Service,

i am approaching the development of Restful web services for the first time. I tried to follow this guide for Netbeans . I am stuck at the testing of the web service.
When i open the
http://localhost:8080/WebServicesTest/test-resbeans.html
page, none of the root resources appears in the left menu. (there should be entities.customer and entities.discountcode)
I really can't find a solution.
Thanks in advance to anyone who likes to give me a hint.
--------------- Edit
If i click on CustomerDB --> Deploy i get an error
In-place deployment at C:\Users\utente\Documents\NetBeansProjects\CustomerDB\build\web
GlassFish Server 4, deploy, null, false
C:\Users\utente\Documents\NetBeansProjects\CustomerDB\nbproject\build-impl.xml:1071:
The module has not been deployed.
See the server log for details.
The line 1071 of build-impl.xml is
<nbdeploy clientUrlPart="${client.urlPart}" debugmode="false" forceRedeploy="${forceRedeploy}"/>
I checked out the referenced tutorial.
Which exact path did you follow? Did you change anything?
Most likely your CustomerDB application is not deployed correctly (see GlassFish Server output in NetBeans) and thus is not able to expose the web service and thus is not displayed in the test page (nothing visible in the side bar).
I tried the tutorial myself and had that phenomenon when using another database ("test" instead of the sample db, which was not connectable in my installed environment), resulting in a message that "test__pm" resource was not found. I then created a conection pool and a jdbc reosurce for test and then it worked.

Cant Find my Axis2 Web Service deployed on OpenShift

I deployed a web service developed using Apache Axis2 on Openshift.
When I try accessing the axis2 index.jsp, I can see the index page which only contains the default Version.
Q:
How do I get to display the web service other web services I created as I can view them on my localhost through the browser in Eclipse?
I have done a few searches online and seen some suggestions as to making adjustments to axis2.xml. In that regard, I have tried changing the contextRoot parameter and the servicePath without no success though I am not too sure if I am making the right changes.
My project structure in Eclipse is shown below:
SieveService
+...
+Java Resources
++src
+++Model
++++some model classes
+++Services
++++SieveServiceService.java
++Libraries
+...
+WebContent
++axis2-web
+++...
I had the same problem and that's occurs because openshift's tomcat server only deploys services in aar format, meanwhile in localhost deploys aar and exploded files too.
You need to create a aar file with your services and put it into your WebContent/WEB-INF/services/ directory. You need to update the services.list file too with the name of your services.
After that you must see your services in your openshift server.
