Noob question about{...}

[vallee.romain]

Hello.
I spend a lot of Time to configure 5.x cas, and,now,i have to configure 6.0 with some news in cas.properties like this stuf :
${configurationkey}....
I understand that a "shortcut" to a configuration path, but where can we find this path ?

In documentation, impossible to find complete path to this :

{configurationKey}.dialect (for jpa ticket)

Thank you so much

Start with the item in the left hand menu (eg ldap authentication), https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.0.x/installation/LDAP-Authentication.html

and then the configuration link, https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.0.x/configuration/Configuration-Properties.html#ldap-authentication

There you will find specific properties and the configurationkey and a link to the common properties, https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.0.x/configuration/Configuration-Properties-Common.html#ldap-connection-settings.

Hello,

I also agree this part of the documentation is hard to understand unless you read through the whole doc word by word

Let make Hazelcat Ticket Registry as an example: https://apereo.github.io/cas/5.3.x/installation/Configuration-Properties.html#hazelcast-ticket-registry

You saw that there is a line here:

Hazelcast settings for this feature are available here under the configuration key cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.

And after you click into the link, it will redirect you to here: https://apereo.github.io/cas/5.3.x/installation/Configuration-Properties-Common.html#hazelcast-configuration

With the following line

# ${configurationKey}.cluster.members=123.456.789.000,123.456.789.001
# ${configurationKey}.cluster.instanceName=localhost
# ${configurationKey}.cluster.port=5701

In the example of Hazelcast Ticket, that means if you want to set members for Hazelcast, you need to use the following syntax:

[cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast] => # ${configurationKey}.cluster.members=123.456.789.000,123.456.789.001

cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.members=123.456.789.000,123.456.789.001

The cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast is the {$configurationKey}, you plug it in and it would works.

How about another example: https://apereo.github.io/cas/5.3.x/installation/Configuration-Properties.html#radius-authentication

Principal transformation settings for this feature are available here under the configuration key cas.authn.radius.

In this case, the config for Radius Principal transformation settings should be:

cas.authn.radius.principalTransformation.pattern=(.+)@example.org

See if the above helps, thanks.

Cheers!

thank you for your answers !!

what you mean is 

that this configuration key is only present in the doc, not in the configuration file????

Hello,

> what you mean is that this configuration key is only present in the doc, not in the configuration file????

Yup. ${configurationKey} is not a working mechanism, don't put ${configurationKey}.cluster.instanceName in your cas.properties file, instead, put this cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.members.

${configurationKey} is just the way of CAS like to document their properties...

I thought it was a new feature of version 6 !
