Thank you Scott for your reply. It doesn't look like I am going to be successful at configuring CAS, primarily because of its documentation. Which is frustrating, since it is obviously a very flexible and complete project - just hard to use. But I'd like to make a suggestion that should help make it an easy to use product. It will be too late for me, but it should benefit others.
Free those trying to simply 'use' CAS from special builds. It shouldn't be necessary to build from source or even rely on Maven. The steps could be something as simple as: (a) Download CAS. (b) Grab a base WAR (or EAR) similar to the sample WAR currently included (possibly the current sample WAR?). (c) Import it into the user's development environment of their choice (Eclipse, RAD, Netbeans, IntelliJ, whatever). (d) Add a provider JAR into WEB-INF/lib for the type of provider they plan to use. (e) Modify deployerConfigContext.xml for the particular provider. (f) Modify the JSPs to match the user's desired look and feel. (g) Use the development environment to build and deploy the WAR/EAR. And simple step by step instructions on how to do the above, without assuming any prior knowledge should make it possible for users of any background to consistently configure and deploy CAS. I hope that helps. bruno From: Scott Battaglia [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 10:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [cas-user] Configuring CAS - need advice -- You are currently subscribed to [email protected] as: [email protected] To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/cas-user -- You are currently subscribed to [email protected] as: [email protected] To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/cas-user
