Stub Attribute Resolution

The following configuration describes how to fetch and retrieve attributes from Stub attribute repositories.

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.}

_{The configuration settings listed below are tagged as Optional in the CAS configuration metadata. This
flag indicates that the presence of the setting
is not immediately necessary in the end-user CAS configuration, because a default value is assigned or
the activation of the feature is not conditionally controlled by the setting value. You should only include this field in your
configuration if you need to modify the default value.}

cas.authn.attribute-repository.stub.attributes=

Static attributes that need to be mapped to a hardcoded value belong here. The structure follows a key-value pair where key is the attribute name and value is the attribute value. The key is the attribute fetched from the source and the value is the attribute name CAS should use for virtual renames.

Attributes may be allowed to be virtually renamed and remapped. The key in the attribute map is the original attribute, and the value should be the virtually-renamed attribute.

_{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.attribute-repository.stub.attributes=...

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: 
    attribute-repository: 
      stub: 
        attributes: "..."

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.attribute-repository.stub.attributes="..." -jar build/libs/cas.war

The above example assumes that the CAS web application is packaged as cas.war 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_ATTRIBUTE_REPOSITORY_STUB_ATTRIBUTES="..."

java -jar build/libs/cas.war

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

CAS properties can be passed to the CAS web application as command-line arguments, when the application is launched:

java -jar build/libs/cas.war --cas.authn.attribute-repository.stub.attributes="..."

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

cas.authn.attribute-repository.stub.id=

A value can be assigned to this field to uniquely identify this resolver.

cas.authn.attribute-repository.stub.order=

The order of this attribute repository in the chain of repositories. Can be used to explicitly position this source in chain and affects merging strategies.

cas.authn.attribute-repository.stub.state=

Whether attribute resolution based on this source is enabled. Available values are as follows:

ACTIVE: Active and enabled repository, and is invoked by default automatically.
DISABLED: Attribute repository is disabled and will not be used to resolve people and attributes.
STANDBY: Repository is in a semi-enabled state, waiting to be called only on-demand when explicitly asked for and will not be registered into the resolution plan.
