Installing the blitz-panel service#

Important

To install the blitz-panel service, use the blitz-panel.bin installer.

Important

The blitz-panel service can be installed on any server where the Blitz Identity Provider server is installed.

To install blitz-panel, do the following:

Copy the blitz-panel.bin file from the Blitz Panel distribution to any directory on the designated server (for example, /tmp).
Run the blitz-panel.bin installer, specifying the -j launch parameter as JAVA_HOME, the JDK installation directory.

Blitz Panel will be installed in the /usr/share/identityblitz/blitz-panel directory.
```
cd /tmp
chmod +x blitz-panel.bin
./blitz-panel.bin -- -j <JAVA_HOME>
```
Create a panel.conf file with the initial Blitz Panel settings:
- IDP_DOMAIN – the name of the domain with running Blitz Identity Provider;
- CLIENT_ID – identifier for connecting the Blitz Panel application to Blitz Identity Provider via OAuth 2.0.
  
  Attention
  
  It’s not allowed to use colons and tildes in client_id.
- CLIENT_SECRET – secret key for connecting the Blitz Panel application to Blitz Identity Provider via OAuth 2.0.
- PANEL_DOMAIN – the name of the domain on which Blitz Panel will be running.
  Configuration file example#
  IDP_DOMAIN=mydomain.com CLIENT_ID=qwerty12345 CLIENT_SECRET=54321ytrewq PANEL_DOMAIN=mydomain.com
Run the Blitz Panel initial setup script, specifying the path to the panel.conf file.
```
/usr/share/identityblitz/blitz-panel/bin/configure -f /tmp/panel.conf
```
As a result of the script execution, the Blitz Panel configuration files will be prepared.
