Deploying CAS5.2.X to Tomcat servers

[Jay]

Hello everyone,

We are facing some issues deploying the CAS war file to the server in Unix.

We have to keep separate properties file and config files for different environment and server deploy script will take of copying the files to the desired location and from where CAS application can read.

Is there a guide or something we can follow to achieve this?

Thanks in advance,

Jay

Consider assigning environmental variables to cas.properties through maven filtering, where each variables value is environment specific.

Hi Jay

 

I think you should reed about Configuration Server. This configuration server will not allow you to deploy the cas.war file on each server but have a single endpoint access to your configuration. When using this, you must keep the minimum configuration in the bootstrap.properties included in the war file. 

 

 

I’m not a expert of CAS Apereo but I read a lot and I will implement for my preproduction and production environment.

 

<<bootstrap.properties>> sample supplying a connection to a config server. Of course, the server must be accessible only by your internal network.

 

##

# CAS Spring Cloud Config Client

#

# Name of the application for which environment settings and properties should be fetched.

# This should map to a cas.yml or cas.properties file.

spring.application.name=cas

spring.profiles.active=standalone,ldap,spnego

 

# Define where the configuration server is running

# and what credentials are used to access it.

# By default, basic authN is used.

spring.cloud.config.uri=http://casuser:Mellon@localhost:8888/casconfigserver

spring.cloud.config.profile=native

 

# Configuration server is off by default.

spring.cloud.config.enabled=true

       

spring.cloud.config.watch.enabled=true

spring.cloud.config.watch.initialDelay=30000

spring.cloud.config.watch.delay=1000

 

spring.cloud.config.fail-fast=true

health.config.enabled=true

Sure Ray, I will have this option too in my mind.

Currently, We are trying to put the properties file and config files under <CATALINA_HOME>/shared/conf folder (added to common.loader).

i.e. place the etc/cas/* inside the above mentioned structure.

So will it be able to read the properties file from there?

Thanks,

Jay

Jay,

We use the CAS config server (spring cloud) and store all our config in git in separate branches for dev preprod and prod (and developer branches too). We use tomcat and place lines like these in setenv.sh:

CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Dspring.cloud.config.uri=http://casserver:password@menhaden.comp.uvic.ca/casconfigserver"

CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Dspring.cloud.config.enabled=true -Dspring.cloud.config.label=rbon"
