Or you can build your own PINsafe server by downloading the PINsafe software and running it on your on server, or even Laptop.
PINsafe requires Java and Apache Tomcat in order to run. You need to install these applications first.
Windows
Java Installation
Tomcat requires the Java JRE (Java runtime environment). The SDK is usually installed under c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.x.x. If you do not have the JRE installed it can be obtained from the Java website. At the time of writing of this document the latest full version was version 6, this is recommended for PINsafe.
Apache Tomcat Installation
To learn more about Tomcat go the Tomcat site, http://tomcat.apache.org/index.html But in a nutshell, as the websites states; Apache Tomcat is the servlet container that is used in the official Reference Implementation for the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies. The Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages specifications are developed by Sun under the Java Community Process.
Tomcat can be downloaded from http://tomcat.apache.org . Follow the links to download the latest full (not Beta) version. PINsafe has been tested with 5.5.x and 6.0.x versions
You need to download the binary core distribution for Windows.
It recommended that you download and run the Windows Service Installer if you are not familiar with Tomcat. This will install tomcat as a service that you can start or stop via the Computer Management console.
(Right Click on MyComputer and select Manage).
To test that Tomcat is running, open a browser at http://localhost:8080 and you will see the Tomcat management page.
PINsafe Installation
PINsafe is distributed as a web archive (war file). You can download this file from this site as a .zip file.
Use winzip or other file to extract the .war file from this .zip file.
Ensure that tomcat is NOT running.
Copy the pinsafe.war file to the webapps folder of the tomcat installation. This will usually be found C:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-x.xx.x path.
Then start tomcat. This will deploy the PINsafe application.
Wait for about 30 seconds and then navigate to http://localhost:8080/pinsafe and you should see the PINsafe admin console.
Linux/Mac OS
Java Installation
Tomcat requires the Java JRE (Java runtime environment). The SDK is usually installed under \usr\java but this may vary depend on the OS. If you do not have the JRE installed it can be obtained from the Java website. At the time of writing of this document the latest full version was version 6, this is recommended for PINsafe.
Apache Tomcat Installation
To learn more about Tomcat go the Tomcat site, http://tomcat.apache.org/index.html But in a nutshell, as the websites states; Apache Tomcat is the servlet container that is used in the official Reference Implementation for the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies.

You need to download the binary core .zip or tar.gz distribution.
Unpack the files to the required location, this is usually \usr\local but other locations such as \opt work just as well.
To start tomcat run the start script startup.sh that is in the apache-tomcat-x.xx.x\bin directory.
You may need to set the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment variables
CATALINA_HOME /usr/local/apache-tomcat-x.xx.x
JRE_HOME /usr/java/jre1.x.x_xx
(replace xx etc for the specific versions you have installed)
To test that Tomcat is running, open a browser at http://localhost:8080 and you will see the Tomcat management page.
