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.

Add

...

the CAS-LDAP dependency

...

to

...

uportal-portlets-overlay/cas/pom.xml

<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>

Modify

...

uportal-portlets-overlay/cas/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/deployerConfigContext.xml to include an authentication handler for your LDAP server

<bean
id="authenticationManager" ...

<property name="authenticationHandlers">
<list>
// ---- add the section below -----
<bean class="org.jasig.cas.adaptors.ldap.FastBindLdapAuthenticationHandler" >
<property name="filter" value="uid=%u,ou=people,dc=yourinstitution,dc=edu" />
<property name="contextSource" ref="contextSource" />
</bean>
</list>

...

</property>

...

</bean>

Update the contextSource

...

, which is used to tell CAS about your LDAP server.

<bean id="contextSource" class="org.jasig.cas.adaptors.ldap.util.AuthenticatedLdapContextSource">
<property name="urls">
<list>
<value>ldaps://yourldapserver.yourinstitution.edu/</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
