Wow. Since I'm currently reading this morning to try to improve/expand our jmeter tests, this is a topic of interest. We're about to put our enterprise portal behind CAS Jul 1, and we use BB.
How does one make this page 'public'? We're using Tomcat. Is there any trick to making the stats view which 'exercises the core components of CAS', or does it do that out of the box (3.4.2)? Would you be willing to share your python script and BB integration? KC On Jun 17, 2010, at 7:23 AM, Marvin Addison wrote: >> We have CAS running on Tomcat on Windows.
