+# SDC Simulator
+
+This options is for developers to run locally SDC
+SDC Simulator is a project that enables emulation of web server that provides security policy and sign-on to the SDC component in dev environments.
+
+ - Provides sign on to the basic user roles/functionalities
+ - Creation of basic user accounts
+
+# Docker compilation - Docker Maven Build Profile (io.fabric8 maven Plugin)
+
+If you are using onap vagrant you can deploy the simulator by:
+
+Set up the DOCKER_HOST environmental variable
+
+To set environmental variable in Windows (the docker engine environment):
+- Run `cmd`
+-- Issue command `set NAME=VAL
+Example: set DOCKER_HOST=tcp://127.0.0.1:2375
+--To check if the variable set succeeded issue `echo %DOCKER_HOST%`
+
+- To compile sdc-simulator docker:
+1. Run `mvn clean install -Ddocker.buildArg.http_proxy=<http_proxy> -Ddocker.buildArg.https_proxy=<https_proxy> -P docker`
+-- The proxy arguments are passed and used as environmental variables in Dockerfiles
+2. Copy the script /webseal-simulator/scripts/simulator_docker_run.sh to the docker engine environment and run:
+`simulator_docker_run.sh -r 1.1-STAGING-latest`
+3. Run `docker ps` to verify that sdc-simulator docker is up and running.
+4. Enter to UI: `http://<ip address>:8285/login`
+
+# Docker compilation - Docker Engine
+
+1. Build web simulator WAR file: run `mvn clean install` on project “webseal simulator�. This will generate war file (WSSimulator.war) in the target folder.
+2. Ftp war file: webseal-simulator/sdc-simulator folder to your localhost vagrant machine which runs docker engine daemon.
+-- Check that WSSimulator.war exists after first step No.1 in webseal-simulator/sdc-simulator folder.
+3. Run `docker build -t openecomp/sdc-simulator:1.1-STAGING-latest <PATH/sdc-simulator>`
+Example: docker build -t openecomp/sdc-simulator:1.1-STAGING-latest /tmp/docker/sdc-simulator/
+-- If running behind a proxy:
+`docker build --build-arg http_proxy=http://URL:PORT --build-arg https_proxy=http://URL:PORT -t openecomp/sdc-simulator:1.1-STAGING-latest /tmp/docker/sdc-simulator/`
+4. Validate that images pushed to the local repo by executing `docker images`
+5. Copy the script /webseal-simulator/scripts/simulator_docker_run.sh to the docker engine environment and run: `simulator_docker_run.sh -r 1.1-STAGING-latest`
+6. Run `docker ps` to verify that sdc-simulator docker is up and running.
+7. Enter to UI: `http://<ip address>:8285/login`
