CAS SSO 3.4.7 with LDAP/AD Attributes

Been working on rebuild our CAS Server for a few days now.  We needed to CAS pull additional attributes out of Active Directory for some of our SSO services.  So I'm going to quickly walk through what you need to do you set this server up.

Requirements:

Apache Tomcat 6.0.32

Maven 2.2.1

CAS Server 3.4.7

Attached files: 

  \/  cas.zip \/

• pom.xml
• deployerConfigContext.xml
• person-directory-impl-1.5.0-RC6.jar (recompiled to ignore AD referrals)

1. Install Apache Tomcat 6, I used 6.0.32. This is easy enough, get the binary download, extract, run the startup script in the bin folder. Test Confirm working, default port is 8080
2. Install Maven 2.2.1, this will be used to compile CAS
3. Download CAS 3.4.7, and extract.
4. Open cas-server-3.4.7/cas-server-webapp
5. Replace pom.xml with one in cas.zip 
6. Open cas-server-3.4.7/cas-server-webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/
7. Replace deployerConfigContext.xml with one in cas.zip. Also edit file, and replace anything with braced in @@.
8. While still in the "WEB-INF" folder, create a folder called "lib", put person-directory-impl-1.5.0-RC6.jar inside of it.
9. Open cas-server-3.4.7/cas-server-webapp
10. Compile with maven, "mvn clean package install"
11. This will output target/cas.war, copy to tomcat/webapps/cas.war
12. Restart Tomcat
13. Enjoy, CAS should be good to go.

While traveling down the path of using Drupal 7 has a portal for the District, I came across this Open Source Web Conferencing Platform.  This platform can be up and running in minutes using their VM Appliance.  It allows for multiple rooms, screen sharing, multiple webcams and audio, and has all the other normal web conferencing goodies.  I suggest checking it out.
