Juan, Unfortunately the InCommon requirement is hard coded into the management app; a serious flaw - it should be configurable like every other federation or provider.
You can read about and get InCommon metadata here, https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/federation/Metadata+Service Then you can store it in a local web server and point that url property to the local copy. You may need to have their signing cert locally as well, see https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/federation/consume-metadata-best-practice If you do not need the contents of the file, then delete most of it, just keep the InCommon entries which are first.

Good morning I've tried to use some config like this: mgmt.in-common-mdq-url=file:/etc/cas/config/entities But, I'm afraid what it expects is a URL... So, it doesn't work. Is there another option to take it from local? Anyway, I am not sure of needing this. I don't know the purpose of these metadata and how not having it could impact on my enviroment. Could anybody of you guys provide me more info, at least at a basic level, to have a better understanding? Perhaps I'm struggling with something I don't need at all and therefore wasting my time...

MDQ as a technical standard is an IETF thing. But what it means for CAS and Mgmt apps... https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.5.x/installation/Configuring-SAML2-DynamicMetadata.html - When you are creating a SAML registration in Mgmt app, the Mgmt app can give you a choice of ready-made SAML metadata configurations because it downloaded them upon its startup. - CAS does not need to store the SAML metadata locally, it can gather them from MDQ endpoint. This implies that CAS administrator doesn't need to manage local metadata files of various connected 3rd parties. - If you cannot access InCommon MDQ, you cannot consume 3rd party SAML metadata automatically. So you are back to manual management of metadata XML files. That is all. Other than automating tasks around SAML metadata upkeeping, there is no impact on the functionality. However, even without proxy access, you can work around the issue. You can, for example, periodically download the metadata with wget and let CAS read the file locally or from some internal webserver. You have a property (mgmt.in-common-mdq-url) which you can configure, so if there is a will, there is a way. :) But I would do it only if you really desperately need to access the InCommon MDQ registry.

If i remember the source code correctly, you do not have to specify only an URL but a filesystem path (file:///somepath) might work too.

And, yes, some of the options were probably wrong, so I stuck to the ones you've mentioned. Anyway, it doesn't work as the request are not passing through the proxy... And I have to say that proxy is working well as I've had to configure it to build the product (gradle.properties) This failure prevent my cas-management to start Thanks for your help.

Some cas. ... properties are available in cas-management. I searched around the code but could not find a place where proxy-host is used. In cas 6.3 docs, I see only these proxy options # cas.http-client.proxy-host= # cas.http-client.proxy-port=0 I see that incommon is still hard coded into cas management app; which is a shame. Are you trying to get the incommon metadata? Is that failure preventing cas management from working? As a work around, you could filter out those log messages.
