  1. Run the .war file:
java -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xmx1024m -jar ~/Downloads/rundeckpro-enterprise-3.2.1-20200113.war
  1. Once you see something similar to following log output, you know the server is ready:
Grails application running at http://0.0.0.0:4440 in environment: production
  1. Navigate to http://localhost:4440/ in a browser
  2. Log in with the username admin and password admin

Rundeck Enterprise is now running on your workstation for you to evaluate!

# Encrypted key/config storage

Encrypted key/config storage enabled by default. The default encryption algorithm is stronger than the “Default JCE Policy” used in earlier versions of Java 1.8

Note: If you receive an error message about encryption policy strength with creating projects or keys you will need to upgrade your Java 1.8 version, or set the encryption algorithm in rundeck-config.properties to a lower strength algorithm such as PBEWithMD5AndDES

Further information about encrypted key/config storage on this link.
