Logback Logging
CAS does also support Logback as an alternative logging engine. At a high level,
the Logback architecture is similar to that of Log4j where you have Logger
, Appender
and Layout
components typically defined inside a logback.xml
file.
Refer to the Logback documentation to learn more.
Configuration
Support is enabled by including the following dependency in the WAR overlay:

}
![:warning: :warning:](https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/26a0.png)
Logback support for Java 9 and above is still not quite finalized and released. In the WAR overlay, you may need to strictly force
the Logback and Slf4j module versions to 1.2.10
and 1.7.32
respectively to get around JDK compatibility issues.
This is expected to be fixed in future CAS releases once Logback is officially released and you should keep an eye out for related changes and fixes in the CAS release notes.

file follows:

![:warning: :warning:](https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/26a0.png)
Sanitizing log data to remove sensitive ticket ids such as ticket-granting tickets or proxy-granting tickets is not handled by CAS when Logback is used. While this may be worked out in future releases, you should be extra careful to cleanse log data prior to sharing it with external systems such as Splunk or Syslog, etc.
The following settings and properties are available from the CAS configuration catalog:
- Required
- Optional
- Signing & Encryption
- Hibernate & JDBC
- Email Servers
- LDAP & Active Directory

- Password Encoding
- Principal Transformation
- Password Policy
- Third Party
- Notes
cas.logging.mdc-enabled=true
Allow CAS to add http request details into the logging's MDC filter. Mapped Diagnostic Context is essentially a map maintained by the logging framework where the application code provides key-value pairs which can then be inserted by the logging framework in log messages. MDC data can also be highly helpful in filtering messages or triggering certain actions.

Configuration Metadata
The collection of configuration properties listed in this section are automatically generated from the CAS source and components that contain the actual field definitions, types, descriptions, modules, etc. This metadata may not always be 100% accurate, or could be lacking details and sufficient explanations.
Be Selective
This section is meant as a guide only. Do NOT copy/paste the entire collection of settings into your CAS configuration; rather pick only the properties that you need. Do NOT enable settings unless you are certain of their purpose and do NOT copy settings into your configuration only to keep them as reference. All these ideas lead to upgrade headaches, maintenance nightmares and premature aging.
YAGNI
Note that for nearly ALL use cases, declaring and configuring properties listed here is sufficient. You should NOT have to explicitly massage a CAS XML/Java/etc configuration file to design an authentication handler, create attribute release policies, etc. CAS at runtime will auto-configure all required changes for you. If you are unsure about the meaning of a given CAS setting, do NOT turn it on without hesitation. Review the codebase or better yet, ask questions to clarify the intended behavior.
Naming Convention
Property names can be specified in very relaxed terms. For instance cas.someProperty
, cas.some-property
, cas.some_property
are all valid names. While all
forms are accepted by CAS, there are certain components (in CAS and other frameworks used) whose activation at runtime is conditional on a property value, where
this property is required to have been specified in CAS configuration using kebab case. This is both true for properties that are owned by CAS as well as those
that might be presented to the system via an external library or framework such as Spring Boot, etc.
![:information_source: :information_source:](https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/2139.png)
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.
Settings and properties that are controlled by the CAS platform directly always begin with the prefix cas
. All other settings are controlled and provided
to CAS via other underlying frameworks and may have their own schemas and syntax. BE CAREFUL with
the distinction. Unrecognized properties are rejected by CAS and/or frameworks upon which CAS depends. This means if you somehow misspell a property definition
or fail to adhere to the dot-notation syntax and such, your setting is entirely refused by CAS and likely the feature it controls will never be activated in the
way you intend.
Validation
Configuration properties are automatically validated on CAS startup to report issues with configuration binding, specially if defined CAS settings cannot be recognized or validated by the configuration schema. Additional validation processes are also handled via Configuration Metadata and property migrations applied automatically on startup by Spring Boot and family.
Indexed Settings
CAS settings able to accept multiple values are typically documented with an index, such as cas.some.setting[0]=value
. The index [0]
is meant to be
incremented by the adopter to allow for distinct multiple configuration blocks.
