Cas prefix don't work with empty value (/cas instead of ROOT context)

[Julien Weillaert]

Hi !

I use Apereo cas solution 6.6.10 successfully with the tomcat embedded.

It works great, but I never find a way to change the prefix in the url, for example : 

https://server-ncas.i-wel.fr/login

instead of : 

https://server-ncas.i-wel.fr/cas/login

I put this parameters in my cas.properties : 

cas.server.name=https://server-ncas.i-wel.fr
cas.server.prefix=
cas.host.name: cas

But it continue to work only with : 

https://server-ncas.i-wel.fr/cas/login

The other url give me a 404 not found.

And If I call https://server-ncas.i-wel.fr -> it redirects me to /cas/login

The problem have been already posted here a few month ago, but no solutions have been found.

I could use an external tomcat with some rewriting rule, but I don't want to, the embedded tomcat is much more simpler, and the settings should work.

I also tried :

cas.server.prefix=/

cas.server.prefix=/test

cas.server.prefix=https://server-ncas.i-wel.fr/

cas.server.prefix=https://server-ncas.i-wel.fr/test

But same thing, does not change anything, always cas.

Julien,

This sounds like a tomcat config issue (I have not used embedded tomcat). Maybe a config on this page https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.6.x/installation/Configuring-Servlet-Container-Embedded-Tomcat.html

Thanks for you answer, I found the solution myself.

No, the documentation is wrong and not updated.

The right thing to use is : servlet.servlet.context-path=/

It’s all in :
