Temporary Account

[Jeremiah Garmatter]

Hello,

I am running CAS 6.2.1 with attributes fed from an LDAP directory. A vendor has requested a temporary account to test with while they set up a new service.

I was wondering if there was a way to make a temporary account within CAS instead of creating one in LDAP? My LDAP servers feed into several other systems on campus and I'd rather not propagate this temporary account all over. I remember having to disable the default CAS user, is this just a matter of re-instating that account or could that mess with my LDAP authentication?

Jeremiah,

I get regular requests from vendors wanting test users.

We have a separate ou for our test users. You can add additional cas.authn.ldap sections (and attribute lookup, if necessary). They are searched in order, so it should not impact your regular lookups.

Thank you Ray,

Sounds like its time I set up a testing unit then.
