Setting "cas.authn.pm.reset.mail.html=true" fails with error "elements... were left unbound"

[Abhinav Rau]

For password rest functionality, I am trying to send a HTML formatted email. According to the documentation here and here, we need to set the "cas.authn.pm.reset.mail.html" property to true. When setting this property in application.properties, CAS fails to start with the error:

The elements [cas.authn.pm.reset.mail.html] were left unbound.

Action:

Update your application's configuration

I looked at the source code as well at EmailProperties.java and the property is there.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Abhinav,

Have you enable password management in gradle.properties?

Hi all,

I am having the exact same issue. My instance is running CAS version 6.0.4 using the war overlay method, and I have even tried explicitly listing my module version using the syntax below.

compile "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-pm-webflow:6.0.4"

Is this the correct way to list the module version?

My compile command is:

./gradlew clean build --refresh-dependencies

...and just in case it helps, I have listed my entire build.gradle file contents below.

Fixed!

It looks like the property "cas.authn.pm.reset.mail.html" is only available in CAS version 6.1 which as of now is in RC stage. I was using 6.0 version. Just note that if you are using the WAR overlay then you will need to use the latest overlay (master branch as of now) which based on CAS 6.1.
