Confirming Support for Storing SAML XML Metadata in LDAP
steven gladwell
I'm working on a multi-node Apereo CAS 7.1.x deployment and exploring options for managing SAML SP metadata centrally. I understand that CAS supports externalized metadata via file system, URLs, and dynamic resolution.
However, I'd like to confirm:
-
Does CAS officially support storing SAML XML metadata directly in LDAP?
-
For example, storing the raw or Base64-encoded XML in an LDAP attribute such as metadata under a casRegisteredService entry.
-
-
If so, is there official documentation or recommended configuration patterns to enable CAS to resolve metadata from LDAP entries directly?
-
Are there caching mechanisms in CAS that can be applied to such an LDAP-resolved metadata model (e.g., in-memory or EHCache)?
The goal is to avoid managing local XML files or per-node mounts, and instead maintain metadata centrally in LDAP, while still benefiting from in-memory caching per node.
Any confirmation, advice, or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
