One of the first things you might wish to do is to modify that server to use an existing LDAP server as your authentication data source. Here are the steps required to do that.

Step 1. Add the CAS-LDAP dependency

...

Add the cas-server-support-ldap dependency at: uPortal-4.x/uportal-portlets-overlay/cas/pom.xml

Code Block

<dependencies>
...
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.jasig.cas</groupId>
  <artifactId>cas-server-support-ldap</artifactId>
  <version>${cas-server.version}</version>
  <scope>compile</scope>
  <exclusions>
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>org.inspektr</groupId>
      <artifactId>inspektr-core</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
  </exclusions>
</dependency>
...

Step 2. Modify deployerConfigContext.xml

Modify the uPortal-4.x/uportal-portlets-overlay/cas/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/deployerConfigContext.xml

...

Modify the deployerConfigContext.xml file file to include an authentication handler for your LDAP server and contextSource bean.

...

Step 3. Add the contextSource bean

...

After adding the authentication handle in step 2, in the same file (uPortal-4.x/uportal-portlets-overlay/cas/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/deployerConfigContext.xml), add the contextSource bean.

Code Block

<beans>
  ...
  <bean id="contextSource" class="org.springframework.ldap.core.support.LdapContextSource">
    <property name="urls">
      <list>
        <value>ldaps://yourldapserver.yourinstitution.edu/</value>
      </list>
    </property>
  </bean>
  ...
</beans>

Step 4.

...

Rebuild/Redeploy uPortal

From the root of your uPortal distribution (i.e., / uPortal-4.x), execute the following command:

Code Block
ant clean deploy-war

Step 5.

...

Restart tomcat

Restart your tomcat servlet container to activate the modifications.

Note

title	SSL Considerations

If using LDAPS (as in the example above), you may need to import the certificate from "yourldapserver" into the JVM on your test portal server.

To do that, run the following command to get the certificate

No Format
openssl s_client -connect ldapserver:port -showcerts

Save everything between BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE to a file, and then import it.
That should cover all the changes you need to make.
