Re: [cas-user] CAS 5 Connect to JDBC for Authentication
Appreciate the followup. Some comments: 1. Typo in the docs. Dumb copy/paste error. Should be fixed by now. Make sure your properties are grouped together by the authn type. (They all should be search[x]) 2. Sort of a bug. Removing that property, as you said, falls back onto default values for static authn. I have corrected the warning to note the correct way of disabling this, which is to actually set that key to a blank value. 3. Your properties show you have not defines key for web flow encryption and signing, which the thing WebflowConversationStateCipherExecutor is checking for. Check the docs for the defns. -- Misagh From: Loren Klingman <loren.kling...@gmail.com> Reply: Loren Klingman <loren.kling...@gmail.com> Date: August 4, 2016 at 11:23:24 AM To: CAS Community <cas-user@apereo.org> Cc: mmoay...@unicon.net <mmoay...@unicon.net> Subject: Re: [cas-user] CAS 5 Connect to JDBC for Authentication Sorry for failing to reply on the mailinglist. (I just hit reply in my email client to the mailinglist email forgetting that doesn't go here.) FYI The mixed bind and search came straight out of the docs for search: https://apereo.github.io/cas/development/installation/Configuration-Properties.html#database-authentication---search As for the authn static. The instructions are very straight forward, but I do not have anything with cas.authn.accept.users in my config file to remove. (The default CAS overlay also contains no "cas.authn.accept.users" and yet boots up with the default casuser/Mellon configuration so I'm assuming that somewhere in CAS casuser/Mellon is set as a default for authentication methods.) My overlay is here updated basically in full (I removed passwords, I'll change the signing keys later for production): https://github.com/loren138/cas-overlay-test I can try removing parts of my config file to see if that helps, but I've done my best to only define configuration for things we are actually going to use. Also, build run is still generating signing keys for some reason... I've done my best to define all the signing keys I can find in congifuration-properties for it so I'm not sure which key it is missing: 2016-08-04 14:16:35,750 WARN [org.apereo.cas.WebflowConversationStateCipherExecutor] - 2016-08-04 14:16:35,810 WARN [org.apereo.cas.WebflowConversationStateCipherExecutor] - 2016-08-04 14:16:35,811 WARN [org.apereo.cas.WebflowConversationStateCipherExecutor] - 2016-08-04 14:16:35,813 WARN [org.apereo.cas.WebflowConversationStateCipherExecutor] - Replies that missed the mailinglist: To clarify, your other issue with the error showing up is because CAS is having trouble reading and consuming the logging configuration file. It’s picking the wrong file, or it’s not allowed to read the file, etc. That’s why logs don’t show up. It doesn’t know how. You need to make sure everything is properly in /etc/cas/config by default, and readable by the running process. Fact that you can bring up CAS in embedded mode correctly shows that THAT process can read the file, but not the sudo-tomcat process. I leave the rest up to you. Also, pick your properties correctly. Last time I checked, you had some settings for bind, some for search, etc. None of that makes sense. If you don’t set the settings correctly, CAS won’t auto-configure them for you. It needs to know whether you are doing a search, a bind, or both. Nothing is partial. As for static authn, when you bring up CAS it should tell you something like this: CAS is configured to accept a static list of credentials for authentication. While this is generally useful for demo purposes, it is STRONGLY recommended that you DISABLE this authentication method (by REMOVING 'cas.authn.accept.users' from your configuration) and switch to a mode that is more suitable for production. I believe that’s pretty self explanatory. If you do what that line tells you to do, then static authn will switch off. If you have them configured settings correctly for JDBC authn, then those will kick into action. If you have done all of that and still something fails, LMK. I’ll need you overlay, plus full set of properties you have turned on and details on where you have defined them, etc. HTH. -- Misagh From: Misagh Moayyed Reply: Misagh Moayyed Date: August 4, 2016 at 10:05:18 AM To: Loren Subject: Re: [cas-user] CAS 5 Connect to JDBC for Authentication Remember to post to the mailing lists please.

Re: [cas-user] CAS 5 Connect to JDBC for Authentication
Well, your other error about logs went away. So something’s up with permissions and/or tomcat that reads them perhaps. If you want to get db authn working, it’s not enough to simply include the properties. You’ll also need to declare the relevant module to express your intention.

It seems to generate a bunch of keys which should have already been set in my cas.properties file which leads me to think at least part of the problem is with that. The file is in /etc/cas/config/cas.properties (seems to be a new location from the former /etc/cas/cas.properties). The file (and folders) are owned by root:root, but the are all world readable. If nothing rings a bell in any of that, could you put the exact overlay template you are using with database authentication online somewhere, and I'll try pulling that in?

(IE casuser/Mellon is still the only login that works to login.) I've been trying to work slowly changing only what I need to at the time so I don't think I've changed any other files other than cas.properties (copied in below), but please let me know if some other file would be useful to include. I'm seeing this error in catalina.out which may be related: 2016-08-03 15:18:40,206 Log4j2-AsyncLoggerConfig-14 ERROR An exception occurred processing Appender casAudit java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apereo.cas.logging.CasAppender.append(CasAppender.java:85) at org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.AppenderControl.tryCallAppender(AppenderControl.java:155) at org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.AppenderControl.callAppender0(AppenderControl.java:128) at org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.AppenderControl.callAppenderPreventRecursion(AppenderControl.java:119) at org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.AppenderControl.callAppender(AppenderControl.java:84) at org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.LoggerConfig.callAppenders(LoggerConfig.java:390) at org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async.AsyncLoggerConfig.asyncCallAppenders(AsyncLoggerConfig.java:113) at org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async.AsyncLoggerConfigDisruptor$Log4jEventWrapperHandler.onEvent(AsyncLoggerConfigDisruptor.java:111) at org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async.AsyncLoggerConfigDisruptor$Log4jEventWrapperHandler.onEvent(AsyncLoggerConfigDisruptor.java:97) at com.lmax.disruptor.BatchEventProcessor.run(BatchEventProcessor.java:129) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) I haven't found any CAS log files yet (looking in /var/log/cas where they used to be) so let me know if I should be looking somewhere new for those).
