[cas-user] CAS 5.1.4 Server with JDBC and SAML - Deployment error on Wildfly 10

[SebastianU]

Hi,

I'm migrating to Wildfly 10 and CAS 5.x and I'm getting errors deploying default overlay template...

My pom.xml includes:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.apereo.cas</groupId>
<artifactId>cas-server-support-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>${cas.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apereo.cas</groupId>
<artifactId>cas-server-support-saml</artifactId>
<version>${cas.version}</version>
</dependency>

...

<cas.version>5.1.4</cas.version>

Deployment fails with following error:

22:16:43,264 WARN  [org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.AnnotationConfigEmbeddedWebApplicationContext] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 112) Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'shibboleth.OpenSAMLConfig' defined in class path resource [org/apereo/cas/config/CoreSamlConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.apereo.cas.support.saml.OpenSamlConfigBean]: Factory method 'openSamlConfigBean' threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'shibboleth.ParserPool' defined in class path resource [org/apereo/cas/config/CoreSamlConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [net.shibboleth.utilities.java.support.xml.BasicParserPool]: Factory method 'parserPool' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.SecurityManager from [Module "deployment.cas.war:main" from Service Module Loader]

Do I need some special configuration I missed so far?

I followed https://apereo.github.io/cas/5.1.x/protocol/SAML-Protocol.html .

Any help appreciated!

Had the same issue today on CAS 5.2.0
To resolve I did:
1. Include following dependency to pom.xml of cas server overlay:

<dependency>
    <groupId>xerces</groupId>
    <artifactId>xercesImpl</artifactId>
    <version>2.11.0</version>

</dependency> 
2. Add this property to cas.properties configuration:
cas.samlCore.securityManager=org.apache.xerces.util.SecurityManager

Hope that will save time for people having the same trouble.

Hi Abylay,

I know this is a bit older thread. However, I have run into the same problem. I was using CA 5.1.1 as maven overlay with some custom implementation. Now I wanted to update to 5.3 (can't o higher, because need to be on java 8). I am getting exactly the same exception:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.SecurityManager cannot be cast to org.apache.xerces.util.SecurityManager

I have tried your solution. Anyway, I have already had the XERCES impl on the classpath. Also added the cas.properties config property. But the error is still keeping appearing. Could you maybe share your pom.xml? Thanks
