Va, It sounds like you are trying to build a client application. https://github.com/apereo/java-cas-client If you are using spring, https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/4.2.x/reference/html/cas.html Here is a tutorial, https://www.baeldung.com/spring-security-cas-sso There are othe

Hello rbon, I am already build, install, configured almost ALL variants from Github and around. My problem is - after "successfully" configured the CAS-server I have no glue about "what is the next step!?". The server works fine, but there are no one line description "how it is possible to integ

Re: [cas-user] Re: CAS documentation for a new user is terrible

If you want to set up a usable CAS server and you are sure you will not need some extra features provided by apereo CAS, just take a look at CASino . It is written in Ruby, supports Database credential, or LDAP credential. It runs well before we migrate to apereo CAS,

Re: [cas-user] Re: CAS documentation for a new user is terrible

Va, I understand your frustration. It took me quite some time to learn and understand what goes on with CAS. But, it solves a complex problem in a flexible way. Out of all the authentication mechanisms, you probably only need one. Which one is up to you. You should be able to get the code from

Va, The link I gave you was to documentation that I developed for use in my organization. It was produced to meet our needs (not yours) and it does that quite well. We contributed it to the community in the hopes that others might find it useful, too. Apparently at least a few people have, because

Re: [cas-user] Re: CAS documentation for a new user is terrible

Hello David, many thanks for your explanation. I am sure - CAS works on many productions environments, and support a lot of possible protocols and standarts. But... ...did You played with Lego? There you can be successful already in 20 minutes. Then you just increase your success step-by-step.

Re: [cas-user] Re: CAS documentation for a new user is terrible

Va, If you want 1-2-3 FINISH then perhaps, as Matthew already suggested, this is what you're looking for: https://dacurry-tns.github.io/deploying-apereo-cas/ It starts from zero knowledge of CAS and goes step-by-step to an installation that is running in production today. And it does it in incr

[cas-user] Re: CAS documentation for a new user is terrible

Matthew, you are fully right - there are a lot of much worse software as well as documentation. And in case, when is the goal "getting as much as more money for support" - it is exactly the right tactic - to make documentation unusable, and release as often as possible new releases with more a

[cas-user] Re: CAS documentation for a new user is terrible

Va, I would like to mention that your complaint is about a product that you get to use *for free*. I support some paid software with worse documentation. I do understand the frustration, as the learning curve is steep, but that's where this community comes in. Everyone here tries to be very hel

[cas-user] Re: CAS documentation for a new user is terrible

As I see after almost 2 years documentation still don't getted better ... ... there are no some 1-2-3-Specs to finish even HelloWorld with CAS. But the release number grows extremely. 3.6, 4.0-1-2-3, 5.0-1-2-3, 6.0. So - looks like the developers stacked in the similar way as users :) I would

I was totally thinking about posting a complain about the doc. I spent hours a year ago to understand how to setup the soft. I am deploying the latest version now and while I forgot a lot about what I did and what I got, I also see that it grew. We can easily get "you want to do that, compile

I'm sure the development team would gladly accept any documentation you'd care to contribute and maintain. In the meantime, perhaps this may be helpful to you: https://dacurry-tns.github.io/deploying-apereo-cas/introduction_overview.html David A. Curry, CISSP Director of Information Security Th

Re: [cas-user] Re: CAS documentation for a new user is terrible

There are a lot of areas that it needs some serious improvement. I'm slowly writing a document on organizational issues related to the documentation, so that I can share it with everyone. The biggest issue is that it makes you jump around a lot. For example, having one MASSIVE properties doc
