Building cas.war for Tomcat -- is 'etc' also required in Tomcat?

[josbrodie]

We are rather confused over here w.r.t installing v5.2.4 --- any help will be greatly appreciated.

Our goal is to build the cas.war to place in '/opt/tomcat/webapps'.

This is what we have for locations:

- Overlay at: /opt/workspace/cas-overlay-template

- Minimal amount of configuration in (for cas.properties; log4j2.xml): /opt/workspace/cas-overlay-template/etc/cas/config (following the configuration instructions here: https://dacurry-tns.github.io/deploying-apereo-cas/building_server_configure-server-properties.html)

Steps take:

1) Build: /opt/workspace/cas-overlay-template/.build.sh package

2) Copy the WAR to Tomcat:   cp /opt/workspace/cas-overlay-template/target/cas.war /opt/tomcat/webapps/

Is the above all we need? 

Or should we also copy '/opt/workspace/cas-overlay-template/etc/' to /opt/tomcat/webapps/'?

Your cas.properties and log4j2.xml files are expected in /etc/cas which will have to be readable to the tomcat process.

You can override the configuration location using bootstrap.properties:

cas.standalone.config=/etc/cas/cas-server-ndsu

I need to be able to run several instances of CAS on the same system for different audiences, so I have to relocate it out of the default /etc/cas.

Using the OP example path -- do you have it at the follow? And swap out by defining at 'cas.properties' with 'cas.standalone.config'?

/opt/tomcat/webapp/etc/cas/cas-server-ndsu

/opt/tomcat/webapp/etc/cas/cas-foobae
