Unable to read meta-data for class org.apereo.cas.config.SurrogateJdbcAuthenticationConfiguration>

[Robert Bond]

I am running into an error when setting up jdbc surrogate authentication on CAS 5.2.3 .

The error "Unable to read meta-data for class org.apereo.cas.config.SurrogateJdbcAuthenticationConfiguration>" leads me to think that I am missing some dependency in pom.xml or bad config in cas.properties. 

Here is the error:

2018-08-22 16:07:12,034 INFO [org.apereo.cas.web.CasWebApplicationServletInitializer] - <The following profiles are active: standalone>

Dependencies I added to pom.xml:

<dependency>

<groupId>org.apereo.cas</groupId>

<artifactId>cas-server-support-surrogate-webflow</artifactId>

<version>${cas.version}</version>

</dependency>

<dependency>

<groupId>org.apereo.cas</groupId>

<artifactId>cas-server-support-surrogate-authentication-jdbc</artifactId>

<version>${cas.version}</version>

</dependency>

Here is the relivant config in cas.properties. 

# # Oracle Database Attribute query

cas.authn.surrogate.jdbc.healthQuery= SELECT 1 FROM DUAL

cas.authn.surrogate.jdbc.isolateInternalQueries= false

cas.authn.surrogate.jdbc.url= jdbc:oracle:thin:@//hostname:1521/serviceName.example.edu

cas.authn.surrogate.jdbc.dialect= org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle12cDialect

cas.authn.surrogate.jdbc.user= cas_db_login_user

cas.authn.surrogate.jdbc.password= passwordASDF

cas.authn.surrogate.jdbc.driverClass= oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver

# # END Oracle Database Attribute query

cas.authn.surrogate.separator=+

# not sure if this is needed for correct

cas.authn.surrogate.principal=samAccountName

cas.authn.surrogate.jdbc.surrogateSearchQuery=SELECT COUNT(*) FROM surrogates WHERE (sysdate between create_date and nvl(expire_date, sysdate + 1)) and login_id=?

cas.authn.surrogate.jdbc.surrogateAccountQuery=SELECT surrogate_id AS surrogateAccount FROM surrogates WHERE (sysdate between create_date and nvl(expire_date, sysdate + 1)) and login_id=?

# END ORACLE JDBC surrogate login config

If anyone has a working config for jdbc surrogate authentication please post it or if you have any thoughts on the error.

Thanks!

Hello,

Same problem with 5.2.8

Anyone have tried the surrogate JDBC ?  if you have a working config, it will be nice.

Anyway thanks.
