Unable to use CAS v6

[David Kowis]

https://www.mail-archive.com/cas...@apereo.org/msg00663.html

Seems as though there's a pretty significant problem with LDAP password
reset email stuff. :(

I haven't been able to figure out what the actual problem is, so I'm
having to go back to 5.3.x...

I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or most people are
just on 5.3.x for the time being?

Thanks!

Hi, David,

I am currently working on CAS 6 customization and it works pretty well
without Password Management.

The problem you refer to claims to be caused by

java.lang.NullPointerException: null at
org.apereo.cas.util.LdapUtils.lambda$newLdaptiveSearchFilter$3
(LdapUtils.java:530)

In org/apereo/cas/util/LdapUtils.java there is a debug statement related
to it:

LOGGER.debug("Constructed LDAP search filter [{}]", filter.format());

So maybe setting a more verbose log level and checking the constructed search
filter will be helpful.

I too have moved on to not using Password Management, and have instead
eyeballed https://github.com/pwm-project/pwm as a standalone solution.

I don't have time yet to dig into the internals of CAS, unfortunately.
But perhaps in the future I can.

Thanks for investigating that for me!
