Using the bundled CAS server in uPortal you can use the preferred maven overlay approach to integrating the clearPass feature. There is a patch available to accomplish this, below describes the steps to perform the integration after applying the above patch. By default, the clearPass feature is not activated.
Step 1: Editing the cas deployerConfigContext.xml file
- Open the deployerConfigContext.file for editing located at ../uportal-portlets-overlay/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/deployerConfigContext.xml
- Uncomment the following piece of code
</list> </property> <!-- UNCOMMENT THIS SECTION BELOW --> <property name="authenticationMetaDataPopulators"> <list> <bean class="org.jasig.cas3.extensions.clearpass.CacheCredentialsMetaDataPopulator"> <constructor-arg index="0" ref="credentialsCache" /> </bean> </list> </property </bean> <bean id="userPasswordDao" class="org.jasig.portal.cas.authentication.handler.support.PortalPersonDirUserPasswordDao" p:data-source-ref="dataSource" />
Step 2: Edit the security.properties file
- Open the security.properties file for editing (located at ../uportal-war/src/main/resources/properties/security.properties)
- Make the following changes to the file
## This is the factory that supplies the concrete authentication class root=org.jasig.portal.security.provider.UnionSecurityContextFactory #root.cas=org.jasig.portal.security.provider.cas.CasAssertionSecurityContextFactory root.cas=org.jasig.cas3.extensions.clearpass.integration.uportal.PasswordCachingCasAssertionSecurityContextFactory root.simple=org.jasig.portal.security.provider.SimpleSecurityContextFactory ..... ## URL of the CAS cleartext password service ##### REPLACE THE URL WITH YOUR CAS SERVER #### org.jasig.cas3.extensions.clearpass.integration.uportal.PasswordCachingCasAssertionSecurityContextFactory.clearPassCasUrl=http://localhost:8080/cas/clearPass
