U2F - FIDO Universal Authentication
U2F is an open authentication standard that enables internet users to securely access any number of online services, with one single device, instantly and with no drivers, or client software needed. The CAS U2F implementation is built on top of Yubico and the technical specifications are hosted by the open-authentication industry consortium known as the FIDO Alliance.
Note that not all browsers today support U2F. While support in recent versions of Chrome and Opera seem to exist, you should always verify that U2F support is available for your target browser.
Support is enabled by including the following module in the WAR overlay:

The following settings and properties are available from the CAS configuration catalog:
cas.authn.mfa.u2f.core.bypass.groovy.location=
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 ofinotify 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 .

cas.authn.mfa.u2f.core.bypass.rest.url=
The endpoint URL to contact and retrieve attributes.
|
cas.authn.mfa.u2f.core.bypass.authentication-attribute-name=
Skip multifactor authentication based on designated authentication attribute names.
|
cas.authn.mfa.u2f.core.bypass.authentication-attribute-value=
