FYI: Detailed CAS 5.1.x how-to documentation available

[David Curry]

Hi everyone,

A couple of weeks ago there was a thread here asking for CAS 5.1.x step-by-step documentation.

As I've been working on building our CAS 5.1.x development environment I've been documenting everything I've been doing, both to help maintain my own sanity and also so that we'll be able to eventually add it to our internal knowledge base. Anyway, two weeks ago it wasn't at a point where I wanted to share it. But since sharing it with the CAS community has always been the goal, I started working to get it to a point where it could be made available for public consumption.

It's still very much a work in progress and only about a third to a half of the topics are complete, but everything from installing Java and Tomcat up through building a server with LDAP authentication and attribute release and Duo MFA support, and building a CAS client to test it with, is done. If someone out there is looking for some step-by-step start-from-the-beginning documentation, perhaps you'll find this helpful:

https://dacurry-tns.github.io/deploying-apereo-cas/

As I make more progress with our development environment (and then the test environment, and then the production environment), I'll be adding to the documentation, and will publish updates from time to time.

Any and all comments, corrections, and suggestions will be gratefully accepted.

Enjoy.

--Dave

David,

Thanks. Wow, what an excellent job documenting the setup. I finally got my CAS 5.1.3 setup with Duo, working yesterday after a lot of research. I will check my setup against your notes to see if I missed anything.

That's awesome! I'm really looking forward to a section about OAuth service registry - especially about a client credentials grant :)

Wonderful! This is great! Any chance you have some docs ready for theming and tailoring the login form/experience?

Thank you!

That's on the to-do list, but kinda towards the end (I'm more or less working my way to to bottom through the topic list on the left-hand side).
