Round 2 - Marvin, thanks for the tips & pointers, I owe you a few... Based on the thread "CAS 3.4.7 login fails with clustered CAS servers behind load balancer", it sounds like I should either stick with 3.4.5, or build from source at this point, and, wait for 4.3.8 to arrive to move up versions? We plan on running 3 CAS servers behind a Netscaler Load Balancer with this configuration, do I need to be concerned about anything else?
I've attached my new deployerConfigContext.xml and cas.properties file for review - many advance thanks for the review. Assuming these are reasonable, I'll be working on Jmeter today. -chris <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- | deployerConfigContext.xml | | cas.wm.edu history | 1.3 20110421 - moved users for userDetailsService to external file - crpeck | 1.2 20110420 - added pooled LDAP for attribute lookup - crpeck | 1.1 20110408 - added pooled MySQL with c3p0 - crpeck | 1.0 20110316 - intial working version with LDAP and MySQL - crpeck | 0.0 20110209 - many thanks to Jason Zylks at tamu.edu for providing assistance to get me up and running | | NOTES: diff this file with any new version that comes out for changes | The files: /local/etc/cas.properties /local/etc/wm.properties | contain properties for connection info | see spring-configuration/propertyFileConfigurer.xml | userDetailsService users are in /local/etc/users.properties | | deployerConfigContext.xml centralizes into one file some of the declarative configuration that | all CAS deployers will need to modify. | | This file declares some of the Spring-managed JavaBeans that make up a CAS deployment. | The beans declared in this file are instantiated at context initialization time by the Spring | ContextLoaderListener declared in web.xml.
