ForgeRock Identity Management is a software for identity management, assisting organizations in synchronizing data across multiple resources [1].

This article is a demonstration of ForgeRock IDM setup on Raspberry Pi 4 B. Here are the specifications adhered to in this tutorial:

1. Initial

First of all, register at ForgeRock Backstage.

Copy the downloaded zip to your Ubuntu Server

$ scp IDM-7.2.1.zip ubuntu@192.168.0.2:~/opt

If you are looking to set up Ubuntu Server in your Raspberry Pi 4, checkout my other article > Setup Ubuntu Server on Raspberry Pi.

Secondly, you need to install OpenJDK Java runtime [2] on the server

$ sudo apt install openjdk-11-jre-headless

Then, unzip IDM-7.2.1.zip

$ mkdir opt
$ cd opt
$ unzip IDM-7.2.1.zip

Finally, run startup.sh

$ cd ~/opt/openidm
$ ./startup.sh

Figure 1. Successful openidm installation.

After the successful openidm installation, one can access it through any system within the same network.

For instance, open 192.168.0.2:8080 on your browser.
