Emmanuel, For setting up CAS, look at David's notes: https://dacurry-tns.github.io/deploying-apereo-cas/introduction_overview.html Depending on your time line, you might consider CAS 6.0 which will be official before end of the year (you will need jdk 11). Otherwise use the latest 5.3 with JDK 8. (Note: 5.3 is only available as a maven build, 6.0 only as gradle.) For db config, see https://apereo.github.io/cas/5.3.x/installation/Database-Authentication.html and search this user list, others have asked questions about db authentication - I have not used it.)
Ray P.S. Oracle JDK 8 will be end of life early next year and they are changing the JDK update process so you may want to plan for paid for support or switch to open JDK.

I have been trying to setup CAS to query MySQL database for username/password authentication. I managed to install JDK 7, Tomcat 8 and Maven. Tomact is working correctly. I have tried with different versions of CAS to configure dependencies in pom.xml and build but I keep having different challenges. The latest error I got trying to build from version 4.0.x is shown below: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.3:testCompile (default-testCompile) on project cas-server-webapp: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:[ERROR] error reading /home/cas/.m2/repository/org/jasig/cas/cas-server-webapp-support/4.0.8-SNAPSHOT/cas-server-webapp-support-4.0.8-SNAPSHOT.jar; error in opening zip file[ERROR] error reading /home/cas/.m2/repository/org/jasig/cas/cas-server-support-jdbc/4.0.8-SNAPSHOT/cas-server-support-jdbc-4.0.8-SNAPSHOT.jar; error in opening zip file[ERROR] error reading /home/cas/.m2/repository/org/slf4j/slf4j-api/1.7.5/slf4j-api-1.7.5.jar; error in opening zip file[ERROR] error reading /home/cas/.m2/repository/org/slf4j/slf4j-log4j12/1.7.5/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.5.jar; error in opening zip file[ERROR] error reading /home/cas/.m2/repository/org/slf4j/jcl-over-slf4j/1.7.5/jcl-over-slf4j-1.7.5.jar; error in opening zip file[ERROR] error reading /home/cas/.m2/repository/org/jasig/cas/cas-server-webapp-support/4.0.8-SNAPSHOT/cas-server-webapp-support-4.0.8-SNAPSHOT.jar; error in opening zip file[ERROR] error reading /home/cas/.m2/repository/org/jasig/cas/cas-server-support-jdbc/4.0.8-SNAPSHOT/cas-server-support-jdbc-4.0.8-SNAPSHOT.jar; error in opening zip file[ERROR] error reading /home/cas/.m2/repository/org/slf4j/slf4j-api/1.7.5/slf4j-api-1.7.5.jar; error in opening zip file[ERROR] error reading /home/cas/.m2/repository/org/slf4j/slf4j-log4j12/1.7.5/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.5.jar; error in opening zip file[ERROR] error reading /home/cas/.m2/repository/org/slf4j/jcl-over-slf4j/1.7.5/jcl-over-slf4j-1.7.5.jar; error in opening zip file[ERROR] /opt/cas/cas/cas-server-webapp/src/test/java/org/jasig/cas/WiringTests.java:[27,47] package org.springframework.web.context.support does not exist[ERROR] /opt/cas/cas/cas-server-webapp/src/test/java/org/jasig/cas/WiringTests.java:[37,13] cannot find symbol[ERROR] symbol: class XmlWebApplicationContext[ERROR] location: class org.jasig.cas.WiringTests[ERROR] /opt/cas/cas/cas-server-webapp/src/test/java/org/jasig/cas/WiringTests.java:[41,34] cannot find symbol[ERROR] symbol: class XmlWebApplicationContext[ERROR] location: class org.jasig.cas.WiringTests[ERROR] -> [Help 1][ERROR][ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch.[ERROR] Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.[ERROR][ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles:[ERROR] [Help 1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/MojoFailureException Please I need someone to guide me on the best way to achieve this.
