Kuali (KFS) and CAS

[Scott Battaglia]

Josh,

I haven't seen the Kuali documentation for CAS so I can't comment on that
(if you post the link I may be able to help).  However, you can download the
CAS distribution (http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas/downloads/) and go from
there.

The CAS distribution includes handlers for things like database, LDAP, etc.
built in.  You merely need to configure CAS and include the correct jars.

The way a CAS distribution currently works is there is a localPlugins
directory.  It includes a src directory and a lib directory.  If you have
custom source code put it in src, if you have binary libraries place them in
lib. Then edit the $PROJECT_HOME/webapp/WEB-INF/deployerConfigContext.xml to
include your AuthenticationHandler (either the one you wrote or the one you
are including).  This file is a simple Spring XML configuration file.

Once that is done, run "ant war" in the localPlugins directory.

Hope that helps!
-Scott
