Download and Install the Application Server

For your reference, we used JBoss 5.1.0 GA as our application server in this guide. Download JBoss from http://sourceforge.net/projects/jboss/files/JBoss/ and unzip the downloaded file to a directory of your choice. The path /opt/pki/ is our installation path which we will use throughout this guide. Let’s assume that we installed the application server under /opt/pki/jboss. When installation is done, create a user and group named as jboss with a working directory /opt/pki/jboss.

# groupadd jboss  
# useradd -d /opt/pki/jboss -g jboss jboss  
# passwd jboss  

If you use different installation path other than above path, then modify the path value whenever needed according to your path.
