TIP: Quick OpenAM Docker Configuration From a Command Line

Let OpenAM hostname is openam.example.org Before starting, add the hostname and IP address to the hosts file, for example 127.0.0.0.1 openam.example.org.

On Windows systems, the hosts file is located at C:Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts , on Linux and Mac it is located at /etc/hosts.

Next, start the OpenAM Docker container. Run the following command:

docker run -h openam.example.org -p 8080:8080 --name openam openidentityplatform/openam

There is no need to configure OpenAM manually via UI. The following command helps to automate the process:

 docker exec -w '/usr/openam/ssoconfiguratortools' openam bash -c \
'echo "ACCEPT_LICENSES=true
SERVER_URL=http://openam.example.org:8080
