Hi,
Recently we released a 0.7.0 snapshot of ESOE. To assist users in seeing
how this new version is deployed and also to allow people to test ESOE
without needing to do a large install we are please to now offer a Linux
based VM which is fully configured to act as the central ESOE server.

You can download from the following location:
http://esoeproject.org/releases/virtualmachine/esoe-vm.tar.gz

Included
* Apache LDAP
* MySQL 5.x
* ESOE 0.7.0 and associated plugins
* OpenID Support Enabled
* ESOE Manager

The machine is configured to be known as esoe.test.intient.com, when
deploying into your virtual machine environment you should edit the
/etc/hosts file to reflect whatever IP your local VM Ware instance
assigns it. Likewise you should setup this mapping on your local machine
so your browser can resolve the domain.

With IP mappings in place do the following:
$> cd /usr/local/site/esoe
$> ./manage.sh start

Once this is done complete you can navigate to:
http://esoe.test.intient.com:8080/esoemanager

To login you can use:
username: beddoes
password: a

The root password for the VM is 'esoe' as is the password for other
components such as the LDAP server and database.

You should now be able to create LDAP Accounts and register additional
services as necessary for your testing.

regards,
Bradley
