Tomcat and CAS Newbie Need Help with Google SSO Overlay

[Bob Dill]

Hi All,

I'm a newbie when it comes to CAS and Tomcat Web Servers. I need to set up SSO with Google using CAS. I have read the documentation at https://apereo.github.io/cas/4.2.x/integration/Google-Apps-Integration.html although I am using version 3.5.2. I'm stuck on the first step of adding a dependency for a CAS overlay. Do I need to download the overlay? Do I need to rebuild the project? Is there a nice step-by-step guide that will teach me how to perform these basic steps? I've been searching for hours, and I'm not making any progress.

Thank in advance,
~ Bob

Hmm... If you are stuck to using CAS 3.5.2 then you are pretty unlucky. As you can see here "https://apereo.github.io/cas/developer/Maintenance-Policy.html",  CAS 3.5.2 is already EOL.

If you are required to use CAS 3.5.2, then you should not be looking at this https://apereo.github.io/cas/4.2.x/integration/Google-Apps-Integration.html, this is for version 4.2.x (as you can see in the url). If this you should search google for CAS 3 and find the document you need.

As for dependency, are you asking for maven dependency, you need to add them in the pom.xml.

Hi All,

I wanted to say thank you for your help (Uxio, Ng Sek Long). I did some reading and decided to start from scratch with version 5.1.2. I downloaded the cas overlay project from github, ran the build script and deployed the resulting cas.war file. I now have a running version of the cas application. Yay! Now, I'm working on configuring it to suite my needs. I will open a new thread regarding that.

Thank you for the suggestions.

Coming from 3.x you are likely to have a bad time wrangling the customization stage.

Since I started reading these mails about a year ago, I have read one gifted person was able to self make an upgrade path from 3 to 5.

IINM most peoples rework their CAS 5 customizations from scratch and from their clear list of requirements.

Cheers and regards,
