# DynamoDb - SAML2 Metadata Management Source: https://apereo.github.io/cas/development/installation/Configuring-SAML2-DynamicMetadata-DynamoDb.html Metadata documents may also be stored in and fetched from an Amazon DynamoDb instance. This may specially be used to avoid copying metadata files across CAS nodes in a cluster, particularly where one needs to deal with more than a few bilateral SAML integrations. Metadata documents are stored in and fetched from a single pre-defined bucket that is taught to CAS via settings. Support is enabled by including the following module in the overlay: ```groovy dependencies { /* The following platform references are included automatically and are listed for reference only. implementation enforcedPlatform("org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-bom:${project.'cas.version'}") implementation platform(org.springframework.boot.gradle.plugin.SpringBootPlugin.BOM_COORDINATES) */ implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-saml-idp-metadata-dynamodb" } ``` SAML service definitions must then be designed as follows to allow CAS to fetch metadata documents from Amazon DynamoDb: ```json { "@class" : "org.apereo.cas.support.saml.services.SamlRegisteredService", "serviceId" : "the-entity-id-of-the-sp(s)", "name" : "SAMLService", "id" : 10000003, "description" : "Amazon DynamoDb metadata resolver", "metadataLocation" : "dynamodb://" } ``` CAS records the service provider entity identifier in the `entityId` attribute and queries it through the `entityIdIndex` global secondary index. Deployments that manage the table outside CAS must define both. > **Metadata Location** > > The metadata location in the registration record above needs to be specified as `dynamodb://` to signal to CAS that SAML metadata for registered service provider must be fetched from Amazon DynamoDb defined in CAS configuration. The following settings and properties are available from the CAS configuration catalog: - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.credential-access-key` (Required; type `String`): Use access-key provided by AWS to authenticate. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.credential-secret-key` (Required; type `String`): Use secret key provided by AWS to authenticate. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.crypto.encryption.key` (Required; type `String`): The encryption key is a string whose length is defined by the encryption key size setting. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.crypto.signing.key` (Required; type `String`): The signing key is a string whose length is defined by the signing key size setting. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.dax.url` (Required; type `String`): Cluster url. For example, `dax://my-cluster.l6fzcv.dax-clusters.us-east-1.amazonaws.com`. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.endpoint` (Required; type `String`): AWS custom endpoint. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.region` (Required; type `String`): AWS region used. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.billing-mode` (Optional; type `AbstractDynamoDbProperties.BillingMode`; default `PROVISIONED`): Billing mode specifies how you are charged for read and write throughput and how you manage capacity. Available values are as follows: - `PROVISIONED`: Provisioned mode means that you specify the number of reads and writes per second that you expect your application to use. Provisioned mode is a good option if any of the following are true: - You have predictable application traffic. - You run applications whose traffic is consistent or ramps gradually. - You can forecast capacity requirements to control costs. You can use auto scaling to automatically adjust capacity based on the specified utilization rate to ensure application performance while reducing costs. `PAY_PER_REQUEST`: Pay-per-request or on-demand billing means that you're charged for only the read/write requests that you use. On-demand mode is a good option if any of the following are true: You create new tables with unknown workloads. You have unpredictable application traffic. You prefer the ease of paying for only what you use. Tables using on-demand mode support all DynamoDB features (such as encryption at rest, point-in-time recovery, global tables, and so on) with the exception of auto scaling, which is not applicable with this mode. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.client-execution-timeout` (Optional; type `String`; default `PT10S`): Client execution timeout. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.connection-timeout` (Optional; type `String`; default `PT5S`): Connection timeout. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.crypto.alg` (Optional; type `String`): The signing/encryption algorithm to use. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.crypto.enabled` (Optional; type `Boolean`; default `true`): Whether crypto operations are enabled. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.crypto.encryption.key-size` (Optional; type `Integer`; default `512`): The encryption key size. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.crypto.signing.key-size` (Optional; type `Integer`; default `512`): The signing key size. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.crypto.strategy-type` (Optional; type `String`; default `ENCRYPT_AND_SIGN`): Control the cipher sequence of operations. The accepted values are: - `ENCRYPT_AND_SIGN`: Encrypt the value first, and then sign. - `SIGN_AND_ENCRYPT`: Sign the value first, and then encrypt. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.dax.connect-timeout` (Optional; type `String`; default `PT5S`): Connection timeout, calculated in milliseconds. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.dax.connection-ttl` (Optional; type `String`; default `PT0S`): How long should connections be kept alive, calculated in milliseconds. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.dax.idle-timeout` (Optional; type `String`; default `PT15S`): Connection idle timeout, calculated in milliseconds. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.dax.max-concurrency` (Optional; type `Integer`; default `1000`): Determines the maximum number of concurrent requests that can be made to the DAX cluster. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.dax.read-retries` (Optional; type `Integer`; default `2`): Number of read retry attempts. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.dax.request-timeout` (Optional; type `String`; default `PT5S`): Request execution timeout, calculated in milliseconds. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.dax.write-retries` (Optional; type `Integer`; default `2`): Number of write retry attempts. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.drop-tables-on-startup` (Optional; type `Boolean`; default `false`): Flag that indicates whether to drop tables on start up. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.idp-metadata-table-name` (Optional; type `String`): The table name used and created by CAS to hold saml idp metadata in DynamoDb. By default, leaving this setting blank will prevent CAS from storing or loading SAML idp metadata from DynamoDb. Example: `DynamoDbCasSamlIdPMetadata` - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.local-address` (Optional; type `String`): Local address. - `cas.authn.saml-idp.metadata.dynamo-db.local-instance` (Optional; type `Boolean`; default `false`): Indicates that the database instance is local to the deployment that does not require or use any credentials or other configuration other than host and region.

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](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7517) of a certain size for the key, you are to use the following set of commands to generate the token: ```bash 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: ```json { "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. --- ## Actuator Endpoints The following endpoints are provided by CAS: `samlIdPRegisteredServiceMetadata` CAS endpoint · 4 operations · Not exposed by default **GET** `samlIdPRegisteredServiceMetadata/managers`: Get all registered SAML2 metadata managers and their details.

(2 params) Parameters | Name | In | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `name`required | path | – | The metadata manager name | | `id`required | path | – | The metadata entry id | Response - **Returns**: `ResponseEntity` - **Produces**: `application/json, application/vnd.spring-boot.actuator.v2+json, application/vnd.spring-boot.actuator.v3+json, application/vnd.cas.services+yaml` - **Consumes**: `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` - **Java method**: `removeMetadataEntryByIdForManager(String,long)` - **Defined in**: `SamlRegisteredServiceMetadataEndpoint` Example request ```bash curl -u "casuser:password" \ -X DELETE \ -H "Accept: application/json" \ "https://sso.example.org/cas/actuator/samlIdPRegisteredServiceMetadata/managers/{name}/{id}" ``` **Enable & expose** Turn the endpoint on and expose it over the web. One entry covers every operation. By default only `info`, `health` and `status` are exposed. ```properties management.endpoint.samlIdPRegisteredServiceMetadata.access=UNRESTRICTED management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=samlIdPRegisteredServiceMetadata ``` Endpoints may be mapped to other paths. For example, to serve `health` at `healthcheck`: ```properties management.endpoints.web.path-mapping.health=healthcheck ``` **Security** Once exposed, every call goes through [Spring Security](https://spring.io/projects/spring-security), and CAS decides access per endpoint. Without a rule, the special `defaults` endpoint applies, which denies access. Who may call it *Authenticated* ```properties cas.monitor.endpoints.endpoint.samlIdPRegisteredServiceMetadata.access=AUTHENTICATED ``` *Role* ```properties cas.monitor.endpoints.endpoint.samlIdPRegisteredServiceMetadata.access=ROLE cas.monitor.endpoints.endpoint.samlIdPRegisteredServiceMetadata.required-roles=ADMIN ``` *IP address* ```properties cas.monitor.endpoints.endpoint.samlIdPRegisteredServiceMetadata.access=IP_ADDRESS cas.monitor.endpoints.endpoint.samlIdPRegisteredServiceMetadata.required-ip-addresses=127.0.0.1 ``` *Anyone* ```properties cas.monitor.endpoints.endpoint.samlIdPRegisteredServiceMetadata.access=PERMIT ``` Where credentials are checked *Basic* A single user defined in CAS settings. If the name and password are left undefined, CAS generates them at startup. - `spring.security.user.name` (Third party; type `String`; default `user`): Default user name. - `spring.security.user.password` (Third party; type `String`): Password for the default user name. - `spring.security.user.roles` (Third party; type `List`): Granted roles for the default user name. *JAAS* - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jaas.login-config` (Optional; type `Resource`): JAAS login resource file. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jaas.login-context-name` (Optional; type `String`): The login context name should coincide with a given index in the login config specified. This name is used as the index to the configuration specified in the login config property. ``` JAASTest { org.springframework.security.authentication.jaas.TestLoginModule required; }; ``` In the above example, `JAASTest` should be set as the context name. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jaas.refresh-configuration-on-startup` (Optional; type `Boolean`; default `true`): If set, a call to `Configuration#refresh()` will be made by `#configureJaas(Resource)` method. *LDAP* - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.base-dn` (Required; type `String`): Base DN to use. There may be scenarios where different parts of a single LDAP tree could be considered as base-dns. Rather than duplicating the LDAP configuration block for each individual base-dn, each entry can be specified and joined together using a special delimiter character. The user DN is retrieved using the combination of all base-dn and DN resolvers in the order defined. DN resolution should fail if multiple DNs are found. Otherwise the first DN found is returned. Usual syntax is: `subtreeA,dc=example,dc=net|subtreeC,dc=example,dc=net`. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.bind-credential` (Required; type `String`): The bind credential to use when connecting to LDAP. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.bind-dn` (Required; type `String`): The bind DN to use when connecting to LDAP. LDAP connection configuration injected into the LDAP connection pool can be initialized with the following parameters: - `bindDn/bindCredential` provided - Use the provided credentials to bind when initializing connections. - `bindDn/bindCredential` set to `*` - Use a fast-bind strategy to initialize the pool. - `bindDn/bindCredential` set to blank - Skip connection initializing; perform operations anonymously. - SASL mechanism provided - Use the given SASL mechanism to bind when initializing connections. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.ldap-url` (Required; type `String`): The LDAP url to the server. More than one may be specified, separated by space and/or comma. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.search-filter` (Required; type `String`): User filter to use for searching. Syntax is `cn={user}` or `cn={0}`. You may also provide an external groovy script in the syntax of `file:/path/to/GroovyScript.groovy` to fully build the final filter template dynamically. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.type` (Required; type `AbstractLdapAuthenticationProperties.AuthenticationTypes`; default `AUTHENTICATED`): The authentication type. - `AD` - Users authenticate with `sAMAccountName`. - `AUTHENTICATED` - Manager bind/search type of authentication. If {@code} principalAttributePassword} is empty then a user simple bind is done to validate credentials. Otherwise the given attribute is compared with the given `principalAttributePassword` using the `SHA` encrypted value of it. - `ANONYMOUS`: Similar semantics as `AUTHENTICATED` except no `bindDn` and `bindCredential` may be specified to initialize the connection. If `principalAttributePassword` is empty then a user simple bind is done to validate credentials. Otherwise the given attribute is compared with the given `principalAttributePassword` using the `SHA` encrypted value of it. - DIRECT: Direct Bind - Compute user DN from format string and perform simple bind. This is relevant when no search is required to compute the DN needed for a bind operation. Use cases for this type are: 1) All users are under a single branch in the directory, `e.g. ou=Users,dc=example,dc=org.` 2) The username provided on the CAS login form is part of the DN, e.g. `uid=%s,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=org`. Available values are as follows: - `AD`: Active Directory. - `AUTHENTICATED`: Authenticated Search. - `DIRECT`: Direct Bind. - `ANONYMOUS`: Anonymous Search. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.allow-multiple-dns` (Optional; type `Boolean`; default `false`): Whether search/query results are allowed to match on multiple DNs, or whether a single unique DN is expected for the result. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.allow-multiple-entries` (Optional; type `Boolean`; default `false`): Set if multiple Entries are allowed. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.binary-attributes` (Optional; type `List`): Indicate the collection of attributes that are to be tagged and processed as binary attributes by the underlying search resolver. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.block-wait-time` (Optional; type `String`; default `PT3S`): The length of time the pool will block. By default the pool will block indefinitely and there is no guarantee that waiting threads will be serviced in the order in which they made their request. This option should be used with a blocking connection pool when you need to control the exact number of connections that can be created - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.connect-timeout` (Optional; type `String`; default `PT5S`): Sets the maximum amount of time that connects will block. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.connection-strategy` (Optional; type `String`): If multiple URLs are provided as the ldapURL this describes how each URL will be processed. - `ACTIVE_PASSIVE` First LDAP will be used for every request unless it fails and then the next shall be used. - `ROUND_ROBIN` For each new connection the next url in the list will be used. - `RANDOM` For each new connection a random LDAP url will be selected. - `DNS_SRV` LDAP urls based on DNS SRV records of the configured/given LDAP url will be used. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.deref-aliases` (Optional; type `String`): Define how aliases are de-referenced. Accepted values are: - `NEVER` - `SEARCHING`: dereference when searching the entries beneath the starting point but not when searching for the starting entry. - `FINDING`: dereference when searching for the starting entry but not when searching the entries beneath the starting point. - `ALWAYS`: dereference when searching for the starting entry and when searching the entries beneath the starting point. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.disable-pooling` (Optional; type `Boolean`; default `false`): Whether to use a pooled connection factory in components. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.dn-format` (Optional; type `String`): Specify the dn format accepted by the AD authenticator, etc. Example format might be `uid=%s,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org`. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.enhance-with-entry-resolver` (Optional; type `Boolean`; default `true`): Whether specific search entry resolvers need to be set on the authenticator, or the default should be used. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.fail-fast` (Optional; type `Boolean`; default `true`): Attempt to populate the connection pool early on startup and fail quickly if something goes wrong. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.follow-referrals` (Optional; type `Boolean`; default `true`): Set if search referrals should be followed. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.hostname-verifier` (Optional; type `AbstractLdapProperties.LdapHostnameVerifierOptions`; default `DEFAULT`): Hostname verification options. Available values are as follows: - `DEFAULT`: Default option, forcing verification. - `ANY`: Skip hostname verification and allow all. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.idle-time` (Optional; type `String`; default `PT10M`): Removes connections from the pool based on how long they have been idle in the available queue. Prunes connections that have been idle for more than the indicated amount. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.keystore` (Optional; type `String`): Path to the keystore used for SSL connections. Typically contains SSL certificates for the LDAP server. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.keystore-password` (Optional; type `String`): Keystore password. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.keystore-type` (Optional; type `String`): The type of keystore. `PKCS12` or `JKS`. If left blank, defaults to the default keystore type indicated by the underlying Java platform. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.ldap-authz.allow-multiple-results` (Optional; type `Boolean`; default `false`): Indicate whether the LDAP search query is allowed to return multiple entries. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.ldap-authz.base-dn` (Optional; type `String`): Base DN to start the search. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.ldap-authz.group-attribute` (Optional; type `String`): Attribute expected to be found on the entry resulting from the group search whose value is going to be used to construct roles. The final value is always prefixed with `#groupPrefix`. This is useful in scenarios where you wish to grant access to a resource to all users who a member of a given group. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.ldap-authz.group-base-dn` (Optional; type `String`): Base DN to start the search looking for groups. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.ldap-authz.group-filter` (Optional; type `String`): Search filter to begin looking for groups. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.ldap-authz.group-prefix` (Optional; type `String`): A prefix that is prepended to the group attribute value to construct an authorized role. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.ldap-authz.role-attribute` (Optional; type `String`; default `uugid`): Attribute expected to be found on the entry whose value is going to be used to construct roles. The final value is always prefixed with `#rolePrefix`. This is useful in scenarios where you wish to grant access to a resource to all users who carry a special attribute. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.ldap-authz.role-prefix` (Optional; type `String`; default `ROLE_`): Prefix for the role. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.ldap-authz.search-filter` (Optional; type `String`): LDAP search filter to locate accounts. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.max-pool-size` (Optional; type `Integer`; default `10`): Maximum LDAP connection pool size which the pool can use to grow. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.min-pool-size` (Optional; type `Integer`; default `3`): Minimum LDAP connection pool size. Size the pool should be initialized to and pruned to - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.name` (Optional; type `String`): Name of the LDAP handler. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.page-size` (Optional; type `Integer`; default `0`): Request that the server return results in batches of a specific size. See [RFC 2696](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2696.txt). This control is often used to work around server result size limits. A negative/zero value disables paged requests. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.ldap.pool-passivator` (Optional; type `String`; default `BIND`): You may receive unexpected LDAP failures, when CAS is configured to authenticate using `DIRECT` or `AUTHENTICATED` types and LDAP is locked down to not allow anonymous binds/searches. Every second attempt with a given LDAP connection from the pool would fail if it was on the same connection as a failed login attempt, and the regular connection validator would similarly fail. When a connection is returned back to a pool, it still may contain the principal and credentials from the previous attempt. Before the next bind attempt using that connection, the validator tries to validate the connection again but fails because it’s no longer trying with the configured bind credentials but with whatever user DN was used in the previous step. Given the validation failure, the connection is closed and CAS would deny access by default. Passivators attempt to reconnect to LDAP with the configured bind credentials, effectively resetting the connection to what it should be after each bind request. Furthermore if you are seeing errors in the logs that resemble a 'Operation exception encountered, reopening connection' type of message, this usually is an indication that the connection pool’s validation timeout established and created by CAS is greater than the timeout configured in the LDAP server, or more likely, in the load balancer in front of the LDAP servers. You can adjust the LDAP server session’s timeout for connections, or you can teach CAS to use a validity period that is equal or less than the LDAP server session’s timeout. Accepted values are: - `NONE`: No passivation takes place. - `BIND`: The default behavior which passivates a connection by performing a bind operation on it.

Relevant when the type used is `DEFAULT` or `GLIBC_CRYPT`. When used with `PasswordEncoderTypes#PBKDF2`, it should be one of `PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1`, `PBKDF2WithHmacSHA256` or `PBKDF2WithHmacSHA512`. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.password-encoder.type` (Required; type `String`; default `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. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.url` (Required; type `String`; default `jdbc:hsqldb:mem:cas-hsql-database`): The database connection URL. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.user` (Required; type `String`; default `sa`): The database user. The database user must have sufficient permissions to be able to handle schema changes and updates, when needed. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.autocommit` (Optional; type `Boolean`; default `false`): The default auto-commit behavior of connections in the pool. Determined whether queries such as update/insert should be immediately executed without waiting for an underlying transaction. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.batch-size` (Optional; type `Integer`; default `100`): A non-zero value enables use of JDBC2 batch updates by Hibernate. e.g. recommended values between 5 and 30. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.connection-timeout` (Optional; type `String`; default `PT30S`): Indicates the maximum number of milliseconds that the service can wait to obtain a connection. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.data-source-name` (Optional; type `String`): Attempts to do a JNDI data source look up for the data source name specified. Will attempt to locate the data source object as is. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.ddl-auto` (Optional; type `String`; default `update`): Hibernate feature to automatically validate and exports DDL to the schema. By default, creates and drops the schema automatically when a session is starts and ends. Setting the value to `validate` or `none` may be more desirable for production, but any of the following options can be used: - `validate`: Validate the schema, but make no changes to the database. - `update`: Update the schema. - `create`: Create the schema, destroying previous data. - `create-drop`: Drop the schema at the end of the session. - `none`: Do nothing. Note that during a version migration where any schema has changed `create-drop` will result in the loss of all data as soon as CAS is started. For transient data like tickets this is probably not an issue, but in cases like the audit table important data could be lost. Using `update`, while safe for data, is confirmed to result in invalid database state. `validate` or `none` settings are likely the only safe options for production use. For more info, [see this](http://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api). - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.default-catalog` (Optional; type `String`): Qualifies unqualified table names with the given catalog in generated SQL. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.default-schema` (Optional; type `String`): Qualify unqualified table names with the given schema/tablespace in generated SQL. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.dialect` (Optional; type `String`; default `org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect`): The database dialect is a configuration setting for platform independent software (JPA, Hibernate, etc) which allows such software to translate its generic SQL statements into vendor specific DDL, DML. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.fail-fast-timeout` (Optional; type `Long`; default `1`): Set the pool initialization failure timeout. - Any value greater than zero will be treated as a timeout for pool initialization. The calling thread will be blocked from continuing until a successful connection to the database, or until the timeout is reached. If the timeout is reached, then a `PoolInitializationException` will be thrown. - A value of zero will *not* prevent the pool from starting in the case that a connection cannot be obtained. However, upon start the pool will attempt to obtain a connection and validate that the `connectionTestQuery` and `connectionInitSql` are valid. If those validations fail, an exception will be thrown. If a connection cannot be obtained, the validation is skipped and the pool will start and continue to try to obtain connections in the background. This can mean that callers to `DataSource#getConnection()` may encounter exceptions. - A value less than zero will *not* bypass any connection attempt and validation during startup, and therefore the pool will start immediately. The pool will continue to try to obtain connections in the background. This can mean that callers to `DataSource#getConnection()` may encounter exceptions. Note that if this timeout value is greater than or equal to zero (0), and therefore an initial connection validation is performed, this timeout does not override the `connectionTimeout` or `validationTimeout`; they will be honored before this timeout is applied.

Usually relevant when dealing with `PasswordEncoderTypes#BCRYPT`, `PasswordEncoderTypes#PBKDF2` or `PasswordEncoderTypes#GLIBC_CRYPT`. When used by `PasswordEncoderTypes#ARGON2` or `PasswordEncoderTypes#PBKDF2`, it indicates the salt strength. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.physical-naming-strategy-class-name` (Optional; type `String`; default `org.apereo.cas.hibernate.CasHibernatePhysicalNamingStrategy`): Fully-qualified name of the class that can control the physical naming strategy of hibernate. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.pool.keep-alive-time` (Optional; type `String`; default `0`): This property controls the keepalive interval for a connection in the pool. An in-use connection will never be tested by the keepalive thread, only when it is idle will it be tested. Default is zero, which disables this feature. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.pool.max-size` (Optional; type `Integer`; default `18`): Controls the maximum number of connections to keep in the pool, including both idle and in-use connections. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.pool.max-wait` (Optional; type `String`; default `PT2S`): Sets the maximum time in seconds that this data source will wait while attempting to connect to a database. A value of zero specifies that the timeout is the default system timeout if there is one; otherwise, it specifies that there is no timeout. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.pool.maximum-lifetime` (Optional; type `String`; default `PT10M`): This property controls the maximum lifetime of a connection in the pool.

This is primarily used for the MBean to uniquely identify the pool configuration. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.pool.suspension` (Optional; type `Boolean`; default `false`): Whether or not pool suspension is allowed. There is a performance impact when pool suspension is enabled. Unless you need it (for a redundancy system for example) do not enable it. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.pool.timeout-millis` (Optional; type `Long`; default `1000`): The maximum number of milliseconds that the pool will wait for a connection to be validated as alive. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.propagation-behavior-name` (Optional; type `String`; default `PROPAGATION_REQUIRED`): Defines the propagation behavior for transactions. @see org.springframework.transaction.TransactionDefinition - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.properties` (Optional; type `Map`): Additional settings provided by Hibernate (or the connection provider) in form of key-value pairs. - `cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.query` (Optional; type `String`): Query to execute in order to authenticate users via JDBC.

Supported password encodings are `{sha512}`, `{sha256}`, `{bcrypt}`, `{noop}`, `{pbkdf2}`, `{scrypt}` and `{argon2}`. ```json [ { "username": "casuser", "password": "{sha512}", "authorities": [ "ROLE_ADMIN" ] } ] ``` - `cas.monitor.endpoints.json.location` (Required; type `Resource`): 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, especially if the script is 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`. In situations and scenarios where CAS is able to automatically watch the underlying resource for changes and detect updates and modifications dynamically, you may be able to specify the following setting as either an environment variable or system property with a value of `false` to disable the resource watcher: `org.apereo.cas.util.io.PathWatcherService`. **Settings** - `cas.monitor.endpoints.endpoint.samlIdPRegisteredServiceMetadata.access` (Optional; type `ActuatorEndpointProperties.EndpointAccessLevel`; default `DENY`): Define the security access level of the endpoint.

Artifacts such as the metadata, signing and encryption keys, etc are kept inside a bucket that carries a *JSON document* with the following fields: | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | `signingCertificate` | The signing certificate. | | `signingKey` | The signing key. | | `encryptionCertificate` | The encryption certificate. | | `encryptionKey` | The encryption key. | | `appliesTo` | The owner of this metadata document (i.e. `CAS`). | | `metadata` | The metadata document. | Note that the signing and encryption keys are expected to be encrypted and signed using CAS crypto keys. ### Per Service Identity provider metadata, certificates and keys can also be defined on a per-service basis to override the global defaults. Metadata documents that would be applicable to a service definition need to be put in a special bucket named using the `[service-name][service-numeric-identifier]` format.
