---

Building and Deploying the Plugin

Prerequisites

• Java 21
• Maven
• Access to a Curity Identity Server installation
• Environment variable IDSVR_HOME pointing to your Curity installation (or enter it when prompted)

Steps

To build and deploy the plugin to your Curity Identity Server:

git clone [email protected]:curityio/polling-example-authenticator.git
cd polling-example-authenticator
chmod +x ./deploy.sh
./deploy.sh

This script will:

1. Compile the plugin using Maven
2. Prompt for the Curity server's installation path if IDSVR_HOME is not already set
3. Copy the plugin JAR and required dependencies into the appropriate plugin directory

Once complete, restart the Curity Identity Server to load the new Polling Example authenticator.

💡 Note for Windows users:
This script requires a Unix-like shell environment (e.g., WSL, Git Bash, or Cygwin) to run. It will not work in PowerShell or Command Prompt as-is.
