Re: [edx-code] external_auth, CAS and UserProfile

[Stuart O'Day]

Not sure what 'This is still happening...' means.  

This discussion from early 2015 was related to (at least on my part) a 
mis-configuration of my CAS Server DNS Name in my devstack environment, 
which broke the connectivity between my edX application and the CAS server. 

Since the Dogwood release (including the Eucalyptus release) there have 
been other issues with CAS. See the discussion and my post here:

[edx-code] Re: Disable Studio Sign Up

[Stuart O'Day]

This is how I did it:

*sudo apt-get install apache2-utils*

Then to create the file,

*sudo htpasswd -c /edx/app/nginx/.htpasswd  *

Then,

*sudo htpasswd /edx/app/nginx/.htpasswd *


Then follow @Juanito update of the cms file to Restrict


Then,

*sudo service nginx reload*
