Installing Connect2id services on Max OS X

The identity web services of Connect2id can of course run on Mac OS X servers.

Today we received a pre-sales question on how to do this and the answer is simple.

Connect2id software is written in Java and packaged as standard Java Web Application Archives (WARs). In order to run Json2Ldap or one of the other services on OS X, you need to install a Java runtime and a Java web server, such as the popular open source Apache Tomcat.

Here you can read a good walk-through of how to install the latest version of Tomcat on OS X Lion:
