configure CAS 6.1 to operate with another application

[ratm]

Hello,

I'm trying to configure jenkins to use cas 6.1 for authentification with :

https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.1.x/services/Service-Management.html

https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.1.x/services/JSON-Service-Management.html

Under cas-overlay-template-6.1/etc/cas/services/

i have created jenkins-1.json file :

{
 /*
     Service jenkins
  */
  "@class" : "org.apereo.cas.services.RegexRegisteredService",
  "serviceId" : "http://my-test-jenkins1.fr:8080/",
  "name" : "Jenkins",
  "id" : 1,
}

First the command :

 

 ./gradlew copyCasConfiguration

doesn't copy cas-overlay-template-6.1/etc/cas/services/jenkins-1.json under /etc/cas/services

But even if i manually copy cas-overlay-template-6.1/etc/cas/services/jenkins-1.json under /etc/cas/services when i run cas i have in log :

 <Loaded [0] service(s) from [InMemoryServiceRegistry].>

What's wrong ?

Thanks in advance for any help !

Best Regards,

[Pol]

Hello,

Check your cas.properties file, it must contains:

cas.serviceRegistry.initFromJson=true

cas.service-registry.json.location=file:/etc/cas/services

You can have a look at this: https://github.com/crpeck/cas-overlay-docker it maybe might help you.

I have added

cas.service-registry.json.location=file:/etc/cas/services
cas.serviceRegistry.initFromJson=true

to cas.properties and put the everything-1.json into the directory /etc/cas/services Problem is the same : 2019-11-05 16:34:51,426 INFO [org.apereo.cas.services.AbstractServicesManager] - <Loaded [0] service(s) from [InMemoryServiceRegistry].>

Anthony,

Verify that your properties are being read (simple approach is introduce a spelling mistake). Turn up logging to debug at least. Also check the tomcat settings logs. All available in catalina.out by default.

Thanks for help !

When i introduce an error on registry property application doesn't start !

Anthony,

Good. Properties are being read from where you expect them.

With the correct set of properties, is there anything in the logs that indicates where services are being read?

Hi,

Taking a look at the tasks.gradle script: https://github.com/apereo/cas-overlay-template/blob/6.1/gradle/tasks.gradle#L29

you can see the working mechaism of copyCasConfiguration:

...

task copyCasConfiguration(type: Copy, group: "build", description: "Copy the CAS configuration from this project to /etc/cas/config") {

    from "etc/cas/config"

    into new File('/etc/cas/config').absolutePath

    doFirst {

        new File('/etc/cas/config').mkdirs()

    }

}

...

Seems to me the main problem is that, copyCasConfiguration command does not copy /etc/cas/services, it just copy /etc/cas/config as show in the above code.

You will need to find other ways to copy the services... Or you can add your copy task as well so it can copy services for you :)

Cheers!

Thanks for response and help !

I have many questions andsuggestions :

First (of all), i thinks it's better to explain in the readme.md that copyCasConfiguration only copy /cas-overlay-template-version/etc/cas/config into /etc/cas/config to avoid bad interpretation.

Secondly why copyCasConfiguration doesn't copy entire folder /cas-overlay-template-version/etc/cas/ into /etc/cas including thekeystore with eventually backup five old configuration ?

Best regards,

Hi Anthony,

I don't know either, I have no idea there was a function call copyCasConfiguration until you mentioned it, since I am just a user of CAS just like you :)

If you think that the CAS overlay project documentation / behavior is to be enhance, the best thing to do is go and submit a Pull Request to go and fix the problem:

Hello,

The only log i have concerning services :

2019-11-07 10:25:29,447 INFO [org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.servlet.UserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration] - <


2019-11-07 10:25:30,792 WARN [org.apereo.cas.config.CasCoreServicesConfiguration] - <Runtime memory is used as the persistence storage for retrieving and persisting service definitions. Changes that are made to service definitions during runtime WILL be LOST when the CAS server is restarted. Ideally for production, you should choose a storage option (JSON, JDBC, MongoDb, etc) to track service definitions.>


2019-11-07 10:25:31,958 INFO [org.apereo.cas.services.AbstractServicesManager] - <Loaded [0] service(s) from [InMemoryServiceRegistry].>

Hello,

On your cas 5.3 example json file are under
cas-overlay-docker/etc/cas/config/services/Everything-1.json

But with cas-overlay-template-6.1 the structure is :

cas-overlay-template-6.1/etc/cas/services

with cas-overlay-template-6.1 where should we put the json files ? ......

[ratm]

I found !

in cas.properties

cas.service-registry.json.location=file:/etc/cas/services

is not good for cas 6.1 but doesn't produce an error ....

the good way :

cas.serviceRegistry.initFromJson=true
cas.serviceRegistry.json.location=file:/etc/cas/services

[ratm]

Thanks rbon, Andy Ng and Pol Dellaiera
