title: Fortress Installation guides

Installation guides

The Fortress Core requires an LDAP server to store its information. Its other components, Web and Rest, require a Java Servlet container. This page includes some links on getting started.

Fortress Core Setup with LDAP

The Core is used by the other components, Realm, Rest and Web. These are to install ApacheDS or OpenLDAP (pick one), and configure for usage. For rapid deployment, you can skip the APACHEDS and SLAPD quickstarts, and use one for DOCKER instead.
