Configuration

The CAS authentication process is primarily controlled by an authentication manager, which orchestrates a collection of authentication handlers.

Authentication Manager

CAS ships with a single yet flexible authentication manager which performs authentication according to the following contract.

For any given credential the manager does the following:

Iterate over all configured authentication handlers.
Attempt to authenticate a credential if a handler supports it.
On success attempt to resolve a principal.
Check whether a resolver is configured for the handler that authenticated the credential.
If a suitable resolver is found, attempt to resolve the principal.
If a suitable resolver is not found, use the principal resolved by the authentication handler.
Check whether the security policy (e.g. any, all) is satisfied.
If security policy is met return immediately.
Continue if security policy is not met.
After all credentials have been attempted check security policy again and throw AuthenticationException if not satisfied.

There is an implicit security policy that requires at least one handler to successfully authenticate a credential.

Authentication Handlers

There are a variety of authentication handlers and methods supported by CAS. Use the menu to navigate around the site and choose. By default, CAS is configured to accept a pre-defined set of credentials that are supplied via the CAS configuration.

Default Credentials

To test the default authentication scheme in CAS, use casuser and Mellon as the username and password respectively. These are automatically configured via the static authentication handler, and MUST be removed from the configuration prior to production rollouts.

The following settings and properties are available from the CAS configuration catalog:

_{The configuration settings listed below are tagged as Required in the CAS configuration metadata. This flag indicates that the presence of the setting may be needed to activate or affect the behavior of the CAS feature and generally should be reviewed, possibly owned and adjusted. If the setting is assigned a default value, you do not need to strictly put the setting in your copy of the configuration, but should review it nonetheless to make sure it matches your deployment expectations.}

cas.authn.accept.password-encoder.encoding-algorithm=

The encoding algorithm to use such as MD5. Relevant when the type used is DEFAULT or GLIBC_CRYPT.

_{How can I configure this property?}

Configuration properties can be included and activated using the following strategies.

:information_source: Note

When possible, properties should be stored in lower-case kebab format, such as cas.property-name=value. The only possible exception to this rule is when naming actuator endpoints; The name of the actuator endpoints (i.e. ssoSessions) MUST remain in camelCase mode.

CAS properties can be specified using the Java configuration property syntax in any and all .properties files:

cas.authn.accept.password-encoder.encoding-algorithm=...

This is the most common form of property configuration that is recognized by CAS, regardless of the actual property source, which might in fact be managed separately outside the CAS environment, by another system or cloud framework.

CAS properties can be specified using the YAML syntax:

cas: 
  authn: 
    accept: 
      password-encoder: 
        encoding-algorithm: "..."

Note that YAML is very specific about structure and indentation. Be sure to verify the correctness of the final result with your YAML validator of choice.

CAS properties can be passed to the CAS web application as system properties, when the application is launched:

java -Dcas.authn.accept.password-encoder.encoding-algorithm="..." -jar build/libs/cas.war

The above example assumes that the CAS web application is packaged as cas.war with an embedded server container and can be found in the build/libs directory. Note the placement of the system property which must be specified before the CAS web application is launched.

CAS properties can specified as system environment variables before the CAS web application is launched:

export CAS_AUTHN_ACCEPT_PASSWORD_ENCODER_ENCODING_ALGORITHM="..."

java -jar build/libs/cas.war

The above example assumes that the CAS web application is packaged as cas.war with an embedded server container and can be found in the build/libs directory.

The above example assumes that the CAS web application is packaged as cas.war with an embedded server container and can be found in the build/libs directory.

cas.authn.accept.password-encoder.type=NONE

Define the password encoder type to use. Type may be specified as blank or NONE to disable password encoding. It may also refer to a fully-qualified class name that implements the Spring Security's PasswordEncoder interface if you wish you define your own encoder.

The following types may be used:

NONE: No password encoding (i.e. plain-text) takes place.
DEFAULT: Use the DefaultPasswordEncoder of CAS. For message-digest algorithms via character-encoding and encoding-algorithm.
BCRYPT: Use the BCryptPasswordEncoder based on the strength provided and an optional secret.
SCRYPT: Use the SCryptPasswordEncoder.
PBKDF2: Use the Pbkdf2PasswordEncoder based on the strength provided and an optional secret.
STANDARD: Use the StandardPasswordEncoder based on the secret provided.
SSHA: Use the LdapShaPasswordEncoder supports Ldap SHA and SSHA (salted-SHA). The values are base-64 encoded and have the label {SHA} or {SSHA} prepended to the encoded hash.
GLIBC_CRYPT: Use the GlibcCryptPasswordEncoder based on the encoding-algorithm, strength provided and an optional secret.
org.example.MyEncoder: An implementation of PasswordEncoder of your own choosing.
file:///path/to/script.groovy: Path to a Groovy script charged with handling password encoding operations.

The location of the resource. Resources can be URLS, or files found either on the classpath or outside somewhere in the file system.

In the event the configured resource is a Groovy script, specially if the script set to reload on changes, you may need to adjust the total number of inotify instances. On Linux, you may need to add the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf: fs.inotify.max_user_instances = 256.

You can check the current value via cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances.
