When decompiling the jar file, you see that it attempts to locate the System.getProperty value of 'openam.agents.bootstrap.dir

So, within your VM arguments, you need to declare the openam.agent.bootstrap.dir value to point to the OpenSSOAgentBootstrap.properties file. Within eclipse, you can include this within your VM arguments. For your environment, you can include this within your bash_profile file or if there's more than one container, include the value within the container startup script.

For my solution, I included the value -Dopenam.agents.bootstrap.dir="C:\Users\danielredfern\forgerock\j2ee_agents\tomcat_v6_agent\Agent_001\config value within the VM argument and it resolved the issue of failing to locate the forgerock OpenAM configuration
