I've been working on CAS for a couple of months now, and, feel fairly confident (keyword=fairly) in my implementation. However, I started with little background knowledge of Java, Tomcat, Maven - but have plenty of years experience as a general unix sysadmin, so I'm used to doing things this way (on the job training, fly by the seat of my pants - you know what I mean)...
I'm planning on deploying CAS on 3 servers behind a Netscaler load balancer. Two servers in one location, the 3rd in a different location on campus. I plan on using master-master MySQL DB servers (one at each location), with c3p0, for the Ticket Granting Tickets & Service Tickets, as well as storing the ServicesRegistry. Authentication will be done against our LDAP servers, which are also behind the Netscaler. I've built and tested CAS version 3.4.5 and 3.4.7. Are there any issues I need to be concerned about with either version, especially in the multiple server setup I'm planning? CAS is running on top of: Tomcat 6.0.32 Java 1.6.0_24 all in Solaris 10 zones. We have about 12K users, our portal has anywhere from 1.2K (average) to 4K (during registration) users logged in, but, I have no stats on auths/second (need to look at collecting that from Luminis). I can pull some info from my LDAP servers, but, we have a lot of things hitting them. I plan on starting off small, using CAS for Sympa, Shibboleth, and some internal IT webapps to start. Assuming all is well, we'll move on to Luminis and perhaps CASifying some home-grown webapps. I'd like to post sanitized versions of my config's for comment, if folks don't mind. All feedback would be appreciated - is this an appropriate place to post these? I figure the pom.xml, deployerConfig.xml and ticketRegistry.xml files should be about it? Any and all comments and suggestions are appreciated... thanks, -chris Chris Peck IT - College of William and Mary -- 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
