shib-cas-authn3

[Tom Poage]

Morning,

Attempting to run shib-cas-authn3 in IdP 3.2.1 with Jetty 9.3.5 and Java 1.8.0_91 (we're running separate IdP and CAS until we work out some details on the integrated Shib+CAS).

The shib-cas-authn3 README mentions editing web.xml is optional, as the servlet self-registers in a Servlet 3.0 container, such as Jetty 9. If relevant, this is a RH 6 variant.

However, the only way I can get the plugin to work (not to return a 404 on /idp/Authn/ExtCas) is to add the web.xml snippet. Haven't been able to find anything in DEBUG to indicate why.

Jars in use:

./WEB-INF/lib/cas-client-core-3.4.1.jar
./WEB-INF/lib/shib-cas-authenticator-3.0.0.jar

The plugin works without needing to edit web.xml in Tomcat 8, albeit a newer operating system (RH 7). Hoping to use Jetty for prototyping here, since the startup is faster.

Ideas on what I might be missing? Since the plugin was written for IdP 3.0, is some other update needed?

Thanks!
Tom.
