Hazelcast Ticket Registry
Hazelcast Ticket Registry is a distributed ticket registry implementation
based on Hazelcast distributed grid library. The registry implementation is
cluster-aware and is able to auto-join a cluster of all the CAS nodes that expose this registry.
Hazelcast will use port auto-increment feature to assign a TCP port to each member of a cluster starting
from initially provided arbitrary port, which is typically 5701
by default.
Hazelcast will evenly distribute the ticket data among all the members of a cluster in a very efficient manner. Also, by default, the data collection on each node is configured with 1 backup copy, so that Hazelcast will use it to make strong data consistency guarantees i.e. the loss of data on live nodes will not occur should any other primary data owner members die. The data will be re-partitioned among the remaining live cluster members.

Configuration
This module has a configuration strategy which by default auto-configures a hazelcast instance used by the ticket registry implementation to build and retrieve Hazelcast maps for its distributed tickets storage. Some aspects of hazelcast configuration in this auto-configuration mode are controlled by CAS properties.
Hazelcast Configuration
The following settings and properties are available from the CAS configuration catalog:
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.core.enable-compression=false
Enables compression when default java serialization is used.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.core.enable-jet=true
Enable Jet configuration/service on the hazelcast instance. Hazelcast Jet is a distributed batch and stream processing system that can do stateful computations over massive amounts of data with consistent low latency. Jet service is required when executing SQL queries with the SQL service.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.core.enable-management-center-scripting=true
Enables scripting from Management Center.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.core.license-key=
Hazelcast enterprise license key.

Please review this guide to configure your build.
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.
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.
Hazelcast Cluster Core
The following settings and properties are available from the CAS configuration catalog:
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.core.instance-name=
The instance name. This setting supports the Spring Expression Language.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.core.async-backup-count=0
Hazelcast supports both synchronous and asynchronous backups. By default, backup operations are synchronous. In this case, backup operations block operations until backups are successfully copied to backup members (or deleted from backup members in case of remove) and acknowledgements are received. Therefore, backups are updated before a put operation is completed, provided that the cluster is stable. Asynchronous backups, on the other hand, do not block operations. They are fire and forget and do not require acknowledgements; the backup operations are performed at some point in time.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.core.async-fillup=true
Used when replication is turned on with
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.core.backup-count=1
To provide data safety, Hazelcast allows you to specify the number of backup copies you want to have. That way, data on a cluster member will be copied onto other member(s). To create synchronous backups, select the number of backup copies. When this count is 1, a map entry will have its backup on one other member in the cluster. If you set it to 2, then a map entry will have its backup on two other members. You can set it to 0 if you do not want your entries to be backed up, e.g., if performance is more important than backing up. The maximum value for the backup count is 6. Sync backup operations have a blocking cost which may lead to latency issues.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.core.cp-member-count=0
CP Subsystem is a component of a Hazelcast cluster that builds a strongly consistent layer for a set of distributed data structures. Its data structures are CP with respect to the CAP principle, i.e., they always maintain linearizability and prefer consistency over availability during network partitions. Besides network partitions, CP Subsystem withstands server and client failures. All members of a Hazelcast cluster do not necessarily take part in CP Subsystem. The number of Hazelcast members that take part in CP Subsystem is specified here. CP Subsystem must have at least 3 CP members.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.core.eviction-policy=LRU
Hazelcast supports policy-based eviction for distributed maps. Currently supported policies are LRU (Least Recently Used) and LFU (Least Frequently Used) and NONE. See this for more info.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.core.logging-type=slf4j
Hazelcast has a flexible logging configuration and doesn't depend on any logging framework except JDK logging. It has in-built adaptors for a number of logging frameworks and also supports custom loggers by providing logging interfaces. To use built-in adaptors you should set this setting to one of predefined types below.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.core.map-merge-policy=PUT_IF_ABSENT
Define how data items in Hazelcast maps are merged together from source to destination. By default, merges map entries from source to destination if they don't exist in the destination map. Accepted values are:
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.core.max-no-heartbeat-seconds=300
Max timeout of heartbeat in seconds for a node to assume it is dead.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.core.max-size=85
Sets the maximum size of the map.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.core.max-size-policy=USED_HEAP_PERCENTAGE
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.core.partition-member-group-type=
With
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.core.replicated=false
A Replicated Map is a distributed key-value data structure where the data is replicated to all members in the cluster. It provides full replication of entries to all members for high speed access. A Replicated Map does not partition data (it does not spread data to different cluster members); instead, it replicates the data to all members. Replication leads to higher memory consumption. However, a Replicated Map has faster read and write access since the data is available on all members. Writes could take place on local/remote members in order to provide write-order, eventually being replicated to all other members. Replicated Map uses the internal partition system of Hazelcast in order to serialize updates happening on the same key at the same time. This happens by sending updates of the same key to the same Hazelcast member in the cluster. Due to the asynchronous nature of replication, a Hazelcast member could die before successfully replicating a "write" operation to other members after sending the "write completed" response to its caller during the write process. In this scenario, Hazelcast’s internal partition system promotes one of the replicas of the partition as the primary one. The new primary partition does not have the latest "write" since the dead member could not successfully replicate the update.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.core.timeout=5
Connection timeout in seconds for the TCP/IP config and members joining the cluster.

Hazelcast Cluster Networking
The following settings and properties are available from the CAS configuration catalog:
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.members=
Sets the well known members. If members is empty, calling this method will have the same effect as calling
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.port=5701
You can specify the ports which Hazelcast will use to communicate between cluster members. The name of the parameter for this is port and its default value is 5701. By default, Hazelcast will try 100 ports to bind. Meaning that, if you set the value of port as 5701, as members are joining to the cluster, Hazelcast tries to find ports between 5701 and 5801.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.ipv4-enabled=true
IPv6 support has been switched off by default, since some platforms have issues in use of IPv6 stack. And some other platforms such as Amazon AWS have no support at all. To enable IPv6 support set this setting to false.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.local-address=
If this property is set, then this is the address where the server socket is bound to.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.network-interfaces=
You can specify which network interfaces that Hazelcast should use. Servers mostly have more than one network interface, so you may want to list the valid IPs. Range characters ('*' and '-') can be used for simplicity. For instance, 10.3.10.* refers to IPs between 10.3.10.0 and 10.3.10.255. Interface 10.3.10.4-18 refers to IPs between 10.3.10.4 and 10.3.10.18 (4 and 18 included). If network interface configuration is enabled (it is disabled by default) and if Hazelcast cannot find an matching interface, then it will print a message on the console and will not start on that node. Interfaces can be separated by a comma.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.outbound-ports=
The outbound ports for the Hazelcast configuration.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.port-auto-increment=true
You may also want to choose to use only one port. In that case, you can disable the auto-increment feature of port.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.public-address=
The default public address to be advertised to other cluster members and clients.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.tcpip-enabled=true
Enable TCP/IP config. Contains the configuration for the Tcp/Ip join mechanism. The Tcp/Ip join mechanism relies on one or more well known members. So when a new member wants to join a cluster, it will try to connect to one of the well known members. If it is able to connect, it will now about all members in the cluster and doesn't rely on these well known members anymore.

Hazelcast Network TLS Encryption
You can use the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol to establish an encrypted communication across your Hazelcast cluster with key stores and trust stores. Hazelcast allows you to encrypt socket level communication between Hazelcast members and between Hazelcast clients and members, for end to end encryption.
Hazelcast SSL is an enterprise feature. You will need a proper Hazelcast Enterprise License to use this facility.
Hazelcast provides a default SSL context factory implementation, which is guided and auto-configured by CAS when enabled to use the configured keystore to initialize SSL context.
The following settings and properties are available from the CAS configuration catalog:
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.ssl.cipher-suites=
Comma-separated list of cipher suite names allowed to be used. Its default value are all supported suites in your Java runtime.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.ssl.key-manager-algorithm=
Name of the algorithm based on which the authentication keys are provided.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.ssl.key-store-type=JKS
Type of the keystore. Its default value is JKS. Another commonly used type is the PKCS12. Available keystore/truststore types depend on your Operating system and the Java runtime. Only needed when the mutual authentication is used.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.ssl.keystore=
Path of your keystore file. Only needed when the mutual authentication is used.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.ssl.keystore-password=
Password to access the key from your keystore file. Only needed when the mutual authentication is used.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.ssl.mutual-authentication=
Mutual authentication configuration. It’s empty by default which means the client side of connection is not authenticated. Available values are:
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.ssl.protocol=TLS
Name of the algorithm which is used in your TLS/SSL. For the protocol property, we recommend you to provide TLS with its version information, e.g., TLSv1.2. Note that if you write only TLS, your application chooses the TLS version according to your Java version.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.ssl.trust-manager-algorithm=
Name of the algorithm based on which the trust managers are provided.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.ssl.trust-store=
Path of your truststore file. The file truststore is a keystore file that contains a collection of certificates trusted by your application.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.ssl.trust-store-password=
Password to unlock the truststore file.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.ssl.trust-store-type=JKS
Type of the truststore. Its default value is JKS. Another commonly used type is the PKCS12. Available keystore/truststore types depend on your Operating system and the Java runtime.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.cluster.network.ssl.validate-identity=false
Flag which allows enabling endpoint identity validation. It means, during the TLS handshake client verifies if the server’s hostname (or IP address) matches the information in X.509 certificate (Subject Alternative Name extension).

Under Linux, the JVM automatically makes use of /dev/random
for the
generation of random numbers. If this entropy is insufficient to keep up with the rate
requiring random numbers, it can slow down the encryption/decryption since it could block for
minutes waiting for sufficient entropy . This can be fixed
by setting the -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom
system property.
Note that if there is a shortage of entropy, this option will not block
and the returned random values could theoretically be vulnerable to a cryptographic attack.
Be aware that under very heavy load and given a very large collection of tickets over time, session monitoring capabilities of CAS that report back ticket statistics based on the underlying Hazelcast ticket registry may end up timing out. This is due to the concern that Hazelcast attempts to run distributed queries across the entire network to collect, analyze and aggregate tickets which may be still active or in flux. If you do experience this behavior, it likely is preferable to turn off the session monitor.
For more information on the Hazelcast configuration options available, refer to the Hazelcast documentation
Security
Tokens and tickets that are managed by the Hazelcast ticket registry can be signed and encrypted.
The following settings and properties are available from the CAS configuration catalog:
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.crypto.encryption.key=
The encryption key. The encryption key by default and unless specified otherwise must be randomly-generated string whose length is defined by the encryption key size setting.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.crypto.signing.key=
The signing key is a JWT whose length is defined by the signing key size setting. This setting supports the Spring Expression Language.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.crypto.alg=AES
The signing/encryption algorithm to use.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.crypto.enabled=true
Whether crypto operations are enabled.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.crypto.encryption.key-size=16
Encryption key size.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.crypto.signing-enabled=true
Whether signing encryption operations are enabled.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.crypto.signing.key-size=512
The signing key size.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.crypto.encryption.key=
The encryption key. The encryption key by default and unless specified otherwise must be randomly-generated string whose length is defined by the encryption key size setting.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.crypto.signing.key=
The signing key is a JWT whose length is defined by the signing key size setting. This setting supports the Spring Expression Language.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.crypto.alg=AES
The signing/encryption algorithm to use.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.crypto.enabled=true
Whether crypto operations are enabled.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.crypto.encryption.key-size=16
Encryption key size.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.crypto.signing-enabled=true
Whether signing encryption operations are enabled.
|
cas.ticket.registry.hazelcast.crypto.signing.key-size=512
The signing key size.
|
This CAS feature is able to accept signing and encryption crypto keys. In most scenarios if keys are not provided, CAS will auto-generate them. The following instructions apply if you wish to manually and beforehand create the signing and encryption keys.
Note that if you are asked to create a JWK of a certain size for the key, you are to use the following set of commands to generate the token:
1
2
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apereo/cas/master/etc/jwk-gen.jar
java -jar jwk-gen.jar -t oct -s [size]
The outcome would be similar to:
1
2
3
4
5
{
"kty": "oct",
"kid": "...",
"k": "..."
}
The generated value for k
needs to be assigned to the relevant CAS settings. Note that keys generated via
the above algorithm are processed by CAS using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES
) algorithm which is a
specification for the encryption of electronic data established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Hazelcast Map Customization

that is used to store tickets.
CAS automatically creates instances of such maps for ticket storage for each known ticket type. If you do need to customize
the map instance before it’s registered with Hazelcast, you can do so by providing a bean of type HazelcastMapCustomizer
in the application context.

return new MyHazelcastMapCustomizer();
}
See this guide to learn more about how to register configurations into the CAS runtime.
