I am receiving an authentication error with CAS during an X509 authentication
attempt.  I am following the example found here
(https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASUM/X.509+Certificates ).
 
I have updated the log4j properties file to set the level to DEBUG to see if
it would help.  I think it is something very simple in my understanding of
certificates and what is attempting to be authenticated.  But I am not sure
how all of the authentication is being handled by CAS.  Nothing in the log
is jumping out at me as what is causing the error.
 
Looks like it is evaluating my client certificate, the certificate that I
select when I first attempt to hit the /cas/login page ( a window pops up in
my browser for me to select a certificate). Which is what I expect.  
 
snippet from log:
<Evaluating CN=TestCert,OU=test, O=test, ST=test, C=test, SerialNumber=112>
<.* matches CN=TestCert,OU=test, O=test, ST=test, C=test == true>
<CN=&quot;&lt;DNS of test server>" matches CN=<DNS of test server>, C=Test,
ST=Test, L=Test EMAILADDRESS=test, OU=test, O=test  == false>
<Found valid client certificate>
<Failed to authenticate
org.jasig.cas.adaptors.x509.authentication.principal.X509CertificateCredentials@44755866>
...
log does not tell me much more.  I am not sure what is happening with the
false evaluation above.  That is the server certificate where CAS is hosted
inside the Tomcat servelet.
 
Any insights or things to try?
 
Thanks
Schawn
