Jeremy, 1. If you are using a database for username/password, that would be fine for ticket registry. Hazelcast is easy because it comes with CAS (when dependency and config are present), no need to install a separate server (unless you want). If you are periodically increasing you CAS server count, Hazelcast would have to be set for auto discovery of its peers.
2. I have not used database. 3. I use stand alone tomcat because that is the way things were done when I arrived.

I managed to make a developement version working but I'm a little bit confused on some aspects. Before thinking of pushing a version to production, I would like to make sure to have covered all my needs. Here is a quick summary of how we're using CAS: We're using CAS for students to access our different applications. Most of the time we only use 1 server. They're is 1 month were we are publishing some competitive examination results and during that period our host adds a second CAS server. Load balancing is managed by a F5 loadbalancer. our current configuration uses oracle to retrive user/password and to share tickets (TGT / ST ...) What I've done so far with CAS 6.1.x : - Getting default overlay to work :) - Configuring my database witch is oracle (using cas.authn.jdbc.query[0].x config) to retreive login/password - Enabled JSON services and creating a service for my apps - Using custom theme for my services I keep reading as much as I can on CAS and common uses, so I have come with several questions: 1. Ticket registry management: If I understand correctly, if I want to make things work like we have today, I have to configure a jpa ticket registry. I've read that a lot of cas users are using hazelcast for ticket registry. Is it a better way to go ? If so, I have to install hazelcast IMDG on the server itself ? 2. Performance optimization: Is there common optimization params that can be set to optimize database access ? 3. For production, is it prefered to use an embedded tomcat or a generated cas.war deployed on a tomcat instance ? 4. Do I have miss something important ? :) Thanks for your help !
