WORKERS AHEAD!

You are viewing the development documentation for the Apereo CAS server. The functionality presented here is not officially released yet. This is a work in progress and will be continually updated as development moves forward. You are most encouraged to test the changes presented.

Apache Geode Ticket Registry

Apache Geode integration is enabled by including the following dependency in the WAR overlay:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apereo.cas</groupId>
    <artifactId>cas-server-support-geode-ticket-registry</artifactId>
    <version>${cas.version}</version>
</dependency>

implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-geode-ticket-registry:${project.'cas.version'}"

dependencyManagement {
    imports {
        mavenBom "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-bom:${project.'cas.version'}"
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-geode-ticket-registry"
}

dependencies {
    /*
        The following platform references should be included automatically and are listed here 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-geode-ticket-registry"
}

This registry stores tickets in an Apache Geode instance. On startup, CAS created dedicated regions in REPLICATED mode for each ticket type. Additional indexes are created on ticket documents stored to improve performance.

Replication

With REPLICATED mode, the entire dataset in that region is copied and stored on every participating member that hosts the region. Any change made to the region (such as a put or update) is propagated to all members. Since every member holds an identical copy of the data, read operations can be performed locally on any member, and the data is consistent across the cluster. This makes replicated regions particularly useful for read-intensive applications where having low-latency, local access to all the data is important.

This option provides the following advantages:

As every member has the complete dataset, reads are extremely fast because they occur locally without the need for inter-node communication.
Data is available on all nodes. If one node fails, other nodes still have the entire dataset, ensuring high availability.
Queries that involve looking up data from the entire dataset are simplified because the full data is present locally on each member.

You should also note that with this mode:

Since the data is fully replicated on every node, the memory footprint multiplies with the number of nodes. This approach is best suited for datasets that are moderate in size.
Every write operation (such as an update or insert) must be propagated to all members, which can incur additional network overhead and latency, especially as the size of the cluster increases.
REPLICATED mode is most beneficial in scenarios where the workload is primarily read-heavy and the size of the dataset remains manageable.

Configuration

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.}

cas.ticket.registry.geode.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.

org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.util.EncryptionRandomizedCryptoProperties.

_{How can I configure this property?}

Configuration properties can be included and activated using the following strategies.

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.ticket.registry.geode.crypto.encryption.key=...

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: 
  ticket: 
    registry: 
      geode: 
        crypto: 
          encryption: 
            key: "..."

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.ticket.registry.geode.crypto.encryption.key="..." -jar build/libs/cas.war

The above example assumes that the CAS web application is packaged as cas.war with an embedded server container 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_TICKET_REGISTRY_GEODE_CRYPTO_ENCRYPTION_KEY="..."

java -jar build/libs/cas.war

_{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. In other words, you should only include this field in your
configuration if you need to modify the default value or if you need to turn on the feature controlled by the setting.}

cas.ticket.registry.geode.locators=localhost[10334]

When a Geode member starts up, it contacts one or more locators. The locator(s) maintain a list of all live members and help new members discover one another. They manage the membership view and broadcast updates when nodes join or leave the cluster. The locator acts as a bootstrap service. A member that does not yet know about the rest of the cluster can reach out to the locator to obtain the current membership list and configuration details. This is particularly useful when multicast is disabled (commonly the case in many environments), and static locator configuration is required.

Locators continuously monitor the health of the cluster members. If a member becomes unresponsive, the locator updates the membership view, which can trigger re-balancing or other recovery actions. Specify one or more locators in host[port] format. Multiple locators can be comma separated. A blank value or none disables the locator support.

You typically disable multicast by settings its port to zero to rely exclusively on locators for discovery. This ensures that all members explicitly contact the known locator addresses.

For a real cluster, you’ll usually start locators as separate processes using Geode’s command-line tool, gfsh.

cas.ticket.registry.geode.multicast-port=0

Members broadcast their presence over the multicast group so that any new or existing member on the same network can detect them automatically. The multicast mechanism helps build the initial membership view of the cluster and continuously updates it as nodes join or leave, which simplifies the network configuration in environments where nodes are frequently added or removed. You typically disable multicast by settings its port to zero.

java -jar build/libs/cas.war --cas.ticket.registry.geode.crypto.signing-enabled="true"

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

cas.ticket.registry.geode.crypto.signing.key-size=512

The signing key size.

_{How can I configure this property?}

Configuration properties can be included and activated using the following strategies.

Note

CAS properties can be specified using the Java configuration property syntax in any and all .properties files:

cas.ticket.registry.geode.crypto.signing.key-size=512

CAS properties can be specified using the YAML syntax:

cas: 
  ticket: 
    registry: 
      geode: 
        crypto: 
          signing: 
            key-size: "512"

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.ticket.registry.geode.crypto.signing.key-size="512" -jar build/libs/cas.war

CAS properties can specified as system environment variables before the CAS web application is launched:

export CAS_TICKET_REGISTRY_GEODE_CRYPTO_SIGNING_KEY_SIZE="512"

java -jar build/libs/cas.war

The above example assumes that the CAS web application is packaged as cas.war with an embedded server container 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.ticket.registry.geode.crypto.signing.key-size="512"

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

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:

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:

{
  "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.

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.

Note

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, especially 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.
