Configuring clustered servers in Production

[Morning Star]

Hi Team,

Can anyone please help by providing step by step guide on configuring clustered servers in production?

Regards,

Anusuya.

Dear Anusuya,

The best step by step guide I know of is the one from David Curry:

https://dacurry-tns.github.io/deploying-apereo-cas/introduction_sso-environment-architecture.html

- Clustered setup is included in the guide.

This document is written for CAS 5.x, but the majority of the document should still be applicable for CAS 6.x.

From my quick re-read, the major change from 5 to 6 that is missing in the David's guide should be:
- tomcat version, 

- CAS properties style (snake-case instead of camelCase)

- gradle instead of maven

I don't know any CAS 6 complete step by step guide, maybe other can chime in with the knowledge if there is one?

Cheers!

- Andy

Morning,

We use an F5 (I think others have used nginx, etc.) in round robin configuration with sticky user sessions for our cas cluster. Cas uses hazelcast as a ticket store.

The cas cookies contain enough data that cas can remain stateless (i.e., sticky user sessions are optional).
