[cas-user] CAS startup fails

[Udo Einspanier]

Hi,

we have a CAS deployment based in the maven war overlay (tested with 5.0.3 + 5.0.7) in external Tomcat 8.5 /w Java 8. This works on three test machines, but on a new one with CentOS 7 gives the below error and the webapp is not started. I have already tried to remove all additional dependencies like cas-server-support-rest, but with no effect. Has anyone also experienced this as well, or can someone say what could be the cause of the error? any suggestions appreciated.

CAS Version: 5.0.3

Apache Tomcat Version: Apache Tomcat/8.5.16

Java Version: 1.8.0_144

JCE Installed: no

OS Architecture: amd64
