The OS was updated to Debian 11.2 on Jan 19th 2022
NorthStar did not run out of the box after the update. Neccesary fixes:
Issue: enable ajp on Port 8019
in server.xml (/etc/tomcat9/server.ml)
<Connector protocol="AJP/1.3"
address="0.0.0.0"
secretRequired="false"
port="8019"
redirectPort="8443" />
restart tomcat9 and apache2
check that ajp is listening on port 8019:
netstat -tunlp | grep 0.0.0.0:8019 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8019 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 65868/java
Pointing browser to https://northstar.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/ should now work (default tomcat start page)
Issue: enable astron login authentication module
in /etc/default/tomcat9 include the following line in the JAVA_OPTS directive
-Djava.security.auth.login.config=$CATALINA_BASE/conf/astron.login
cp /usr/share/tomcat8/lib/astron-loginmodule.jar /usr/share/tomcat9/lib/ cp /etc/tomcat9/astron.login /var/lib/tomcat9/conf
in /etc/tomcat9/server.xml change the default Engine:
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.LockOutRealm">
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"
resourceName="UserDatabase"/>
</Realm>
<Realm appName="AstronLogin" className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JAASRealm" debug="99" roleClassNames="nl.astron.security.loginmodule.AstronRolePrincipal" userClassNames="nl.astron.security.loginmodule.AstronPrincipal" />
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn" />
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"
prefix="localhost_access_log" suffix=".txt"
pattern="%h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b" />
</Host>
</Engine>
Restart of tomcat9 should throw no errors
Issue: adapt context.xml
in /etc/tomcat9/context.xml enter
<JarScanner scanManifest="false"/>
<Resource auth="Container" name="mail/Session" type="javax.mail.Session" mail.smtp.host="127.0.0.1" />
<!--<Resource auth="Container" name="mail/Session" type="javax.mail.Session" mail.smtp.host="127.0.0.1" testserver="localhost" testmail.to="hrottmann@web.de"/>-->

in the <Context> area
restart tomcat9. It should start without errors
Issue: adapt catalina.properties
TBD:
Issue: copy webapps
rsync -av ../tomcat8/Catalina/localhost/* Catalina/localhost chown :tomcat Catalina/localhost/* cp /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/*.war /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/ cp /usr/share/tomcat8/lib/log4j.properties /usr/share/tomcat9/lib/ cp /usr/share/tomcat8/lib/commons-logging.jar /usr/share/tomcat9/lib/ cp /usr/share/tomcat8/lib.55/* /usr/share/tomcat9/lib/
restart tomcat9
Issue: install new version of mysql-connector/J
The old version of the mysql connector located in /usr/share/tomcat9/lib/ is too old.
Downloaded the latest version of .deb package; extracted the jar file and copied to /usr/share/tomcat9/lib/:
