CAS, Spring and Java versions

[Zhiyong Li]

My product is limited to use Java 8 and Spring 5. This seems to be  a problem for me to choose a CAS version to use. My questions are: 

Can I use Java 8 for CAS 6.x? The requirement said CAS 6.x requires Java 11. 

Can I use Spring 5 with CAS 5.x? The requirement said CAS 5.x needs Spring 4. 

Thanks,

Zhiyong

Zhiyong,

Cas is a standalone application, it should not have to depend on your product's requirements.

Are you trying to embed cas in your product or do you want your product to authenticate with cas?

For java cas client see, https://github.com/apereo/java-cas-client

We have CAS 3.4 embedded in our products and it is long due for an upgrade. However, we have a lot of products as CAS client and interact with the embedded CAS through our "Logon Manager". 

Java CAS client also uses Spring. I actually have questions on whether the CAS client has to use the same version of the Spring as CAS server. Also, does CAS client and CAS server have to be on the same version?  

Thanks,

Zhiyong

Zhiyong,

Cas client and server are independent, in fact, their versions do not line up at all.

Is it possible to embed cas server as a container in your application?
