Begin by setting up a LAMP and OpenSSH server. In this segment I used Ubuntu Server 8.04 32-bit.

Install Java JDK and configure paths.

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin and sun-java6-jdk
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
java -version

Next install ant, which is kinda like make for Java.

sudo apt-get install ant

Then in /opt go ahead and download and install OpenVPN-ALS.

cd /opt
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/openvpn-als/adito/adito-0.9.1/adito-0.9.1-bin.tar.gz (note: at time of writing this was the latest version.)
sudo tar zxvf *.gz
cd adito-0.9.1/
ifconfig (remember this IP, you'll need it in a minute)
sudo ant install

From a browser go to http://:28080 and run the certificate wizard.

Once the wizard is complete the installer will finish. Now we'll install OpenVPN-ALS as a service.

sudo ant install-service
sudo ant start

At this point we can stop and start the service using /etc/init.d/adito stop|start|restart.

You can now browse to the server's IP on the port you configured in the setup wizard (default is 443 so simply prepend the IP by https://). Login with the super user account and you'll be greeted by a management GUI. From here you can create accounts, groups, policies, and add resources. In this segment I configured an SSL Tunnel, a Network Place, and a Web Forward. For more details on configuration I advise consulting the SSL-Explorer Admin Guide (Zipped PDF). While the name has changed most of the functionality is the same. You may find additional documentation at the OpenVPN ALS forums.
