[08:32:44 CDT(-0500)] <dd_> hello
[08:32:57 CDT(-0500)] <serac> Hi
[08:33:20 CDT(-0500)] <dd_> getting ready to install CAS server 3.4.10
[08:33:34 CDT(-0500)] <dd_> is there a place where i can find a list of requirements?
[08:33:47 CDT(-0500)] <serac> What kind of requirements?
[08:33:48 CDT(-0500)] <dd_> like which versions of tomcat/ant/maven i would need
[08:34:28 CDT(-0500)] <serac> Most recent Maven 2.x or 3.x is fine.
[08:34:40 CDT(-0500)] <serac> TC version should be latest 6 or 7 if you're feeling brave.
[08:35:21 CDT(-0500)] <serac> We don't document these things because most modern Maven versions will work fine and the servlet container you use is up to you.
[08:35:38 CDT(-0500)] <dd_> thanks
[08:35:41 CDT(-0500)] <serac> I will say our experience is almost exclusively with Tomcat and derivatives. Our == core dev team.
[08:36:17 CDT(-0500)] <dd_> and does uportal 3.2.4 have any problems with that version of cas that you know of?
[08:36:32 CDT(-0500)] <serac> No idea. You'd have to ask the up folks.
[08:37:26 CDT(-0500)] <serac> Should have said, "I'm not aware of any but I'm mostly ignorant."
[08:37:48 CDT(-0500)] <dd_> ok, thank you
[13:13:53 CDT(-0500)] <dd__> hello
[13:13:56 CDT(-0500)] <dd__> i was wondering if there was a way to have the cas login be on my uportal welcome screen
[13:14:00 CDT(-0500)] <dd__> instead of a separate page
[13:30:59 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> hi dd__
[13:31:09 CDT(-0500)] <dd__> hello
[13:31:10 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> Yes, it's possible to embed the CAS login, and no, you shouldn't do it.
[13:32:16 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> wrote a KBA a while ago about this, might help: http://www.unicon.net/node/1327
[13:32:22 CDT(-0500)] <dd__> ha, ok
[15:16:43 CDT(-0500)] * ries wonders if this a active channel… no channel topic!!!
[15:39:38 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> ries this channel doesn't tend to be very active outside of the periodic gatherings of CAS developers.
[15:47:44 CDT(-0500)] <kickehy> I hope this is the right channel, but does anyone have any documentation on setting up CAS on a Windows box?
[15:48:43 CDT(-0500)] <kickehy> https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASUM/End-to-end+Windows+Example <---or is that the best?
[15:51:41 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> That's probably pretty good and the best available.
[15:51:49 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> What are you trying to do?
[15:52:13 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> If you're just looking to demo CAS, the uPortal 4.0.0 Quickstart might really be your fastest path, shipping as it does with a functioning CAS server demonstrating proxy tix and clearpass and everything.
[15:52:55 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> and of course, if there are shortcomings in that end-to-end example, please complain (gently) since the project is in the midst of a formal documentation reboot.
[16:04:29 CDT(-0500)] <ries> apetro: I will keep hanging around.. I am still orienting myself how CAD is going to work in my setup
[16:04:57 CDT(-0500)] <ries> s/CAD/CAS/
[16:08:22 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> cool. feel free to hang around and liven up the mostly quiet chat room with discussion of CAS. Nonetheless, I still think it's the case that well-formed questions / discussions get a more thorough handling on cas-user@. A wider audience and participation, for one.
[16:10:22 CDT(-0500)] <kickehy> apetro: sorry for the delayed response, but we had a department purchase http://www.orgsync.com/technology/campus-authentication
[16:10:34 CDT(-0500)] <kickehy> which requires a setup of one of those three options there
[16:11:06 CDT(-0500)] <kickehy> CAS was really the only one I could find some sort of installation documentation on
[16:11:34 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> lol
[16:11:51 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> glad CAS could help
[16:12:16 CDT(-0500)] <kickehy> and since I'm pretty lost on how to set any of this up, I was hoping I could find a little help
[16:12:21 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> sure
[16:12:34 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> so, I really do think that uPortal quickstart has value
[16:12:40 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> because it's so easy to turn it on and see it
[16:12:58 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> otherwise, CAS ships with a deployable .war, a Java Servlet application
[16:13:11 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> that you can drop into Tomcat, and then you'll have a working demo CAS
[16:13:27 CDT(-0500)] <ries> apetro: I will subscribe to that swell.. I am a 'lover' of IRC though But I still need to fool around with it, understand it better read some more docs
[16:13:28 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> things get more complex depending on how much rigor you want to have in how you manage your local changes and configuration
[16:14:39 CDT(-0500)] <ries> apetro: We will be using CAS within glassfish, Jahia, some third party suppliers that want to SSo to our portal.
[16:14:59 CDT(-0500)] <ries> Currently we run some legacy application where 'SSO? is done past on GET variables…
[16:15:50 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> cool. Well, by all means, mess with CAS. Speak up if you run into problems. Should be pretty feasible to get to a working CAS deployment.
[16:16:29 CDT(-0500)] <ries> apetro: usually this company will give me the time to set it up properly…. we have 13K users, so it must done right...
[16:17:33 CDT(-0500)] <apetro> good to do it properly.
[16:20:28 CDT(-0500)] <kickehy> apetro: I'll try, I just don't have a good grasp on apache/tomcat and I definately don't want something I setup wrong to be a security concern
[16:22:37 CDT(-0500)] <kickehy> and, sadly, i mainly only know Windows
[16:39:17 CDT(-0500)] <ries> kickehy: well… the end to end example is a Windows thing
[16:39:28 CDT(-0500)] <ries> But I am sure it can be applied to a Linux/OSX environment aswell
[17:47:28 CDT(-0500)] <ries> gents, I am not much of a maven guru, but I run into this error : Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.opensaml:opensaml:jar:1.1b: Could not transfer artifact org.opensaml:opensaml:pom:1.1b from/to jboss (http://repository.jboss.com/maven2): Access denied to: http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/org/opensaml/opensaml/1.1b/opensaml-1.1b.pom -> [Help 1]
[17:47:42 CDT(-0500)] <ries> When I follow to wiki : https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASUM/Best+Practice+-+Setting+Up+CAS+Locally+using+the+Maven2+WAR+Overlay+Method
[17:48:07 CDT(-0500)] <ries> is that my fault or did the people at jboss mess something up with there maven repo?
[17:49:23 CDT(-0500)] <ries> never mind.. see,s to be a know issue : http://jasig.275507.n4.nabble.com/JBoss-Repository-Error-td3548011.html
