This manual page is intended to be a quick guide for CASifying uPortal. It is current as of uPortal 2.6.0. It happens to be true that this configuration will also work in uPortal 2.5.2 and uPortal 2.5.3. There are a number of ways to CASify a uPortal. You don't have to do it this way. The intent of this page is to clearly set forth one way to do it without a lot of distraction and fluff. You can read the rest of this manual to get more ideas about this and other approaches. When this page says things like "CASifying uPortal requires such and such", that's a simplification – there's an implicit "CASifying uPortal in this way requires such and such". |

Prior to uportal 2.6.0, the uPortal build.xml finds that .jar as specified in build.properties
If there is no entry in build.properties declaring this .jar, the build falls back on the default of finding the .jar as "casclient-2.1.1.jar" in the uPortal lib directory, which is convenient since that's where it's included in the distribution. You don't need to change this unless you want to get the .jar from some other path, and you won't need to deal with this at all if you're using uPortal 2.6.0's more literate dependency discovery approach. |

The filter is mapped over the /Login path because the CAS ticket is treated like other uPortal security credentials. You'd send your password to /Login if you were authenticating via password. You send your ticket to /Login to authenticate via CAS.
