setting cas.authn.accept.users to blank does nothing

[Michael MacEachran]

I have a custom jdbc authentication handler that I have configured as a @Bean in my configuration class.

When I deploy my war,  there are no errors,  but I get this error:

CAS is configured to accept a static list of credentials for authentication. While this is generally useful for demo purposes, it is STRONGLY recommended that you DISABLE this authentication method (by setting 'cas.authn.accept.users' to a blank value) and switch to a mode that is more suitable for production.

I look in the docs,  and I see that I need to add this to my cas.properties file:

cas.authn.accept.users=
cas.authn.accept.name=
cas.authn.accept.credentialCriteria=

But I still get that error in the logs.

How do I set my AuthenticationHander as the one to use?

Hi Michael,

Usually this problem comes because cas.properties is put in the correct place, so it is not recognized.

Please check the following:
- cas.properties by default should be in the absolution path of /etc/cas/config (In windows it is most likely C:/etc/cas/config)

- cas.properties put in the project folder i.e. C:/your_product_folder/etc/cas/config/cas.properties will not be recognized.

See if this is your problem, thanks.

Cheers!
