CAS, like many other open source (and commercial projects) requires knowledge of tools and concepts that you might not have been exposed to yet in your early college career. In previous emails, you've demonstrated you have minimal knowledge of how traditional web applications are set up.
There's nothing wrong with this lack of knowledge (we all start somewhere), but this list isn't an Introduction to Enterprise Software class. Use this opportunity to really learn some skills that may help you in the future: * Take a look at the Servlet specification (i.e. web.xml) * Learn how containers such as Tomcat log errors and log messages that the application may output * Look into standard tools such as Maven2 or Spring to see how they operate. CAS relies heavily on Maven2 for its build and dependency management. If you're not familiar with that, you're going to have trouble building CAS. The mere fact that you had to try 3 versions of CAS indicates you're not doing something correctly. Take a step back and learn the basic toolset before you even try and tackle CAS. This will help you not only with CAS, but with any open source or commercial product you may look at in the future. As for LDAP, its documented here: http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASUM/LDAP Note, that it assumes you have some knowledge of Spring and Maven2, because the manual is not meant to be a tutorial on Maven2 or Spring. Good luck!
