CAS and SSL

[PLK Albert]

I also met the installation problem using CAS with LDAP

Can you explain more briefly about how to disable using SSL for authenication?

1. I set the "secure " property to false.  
2. Do I also need to comment out " HttpBasedServiceCredentialsAuthenticationHandler "  and baseEnvironmentProperties?     As follow, 

<!--                                <bean
                                        class="org.jasig.cas.authentication.handler.support.HttpBasedServiceCredentialsAuthenticationHandler" />
+-->
         <bean id="contextSource" class="org.jasig.cas.adaptors.ldap.util.AuthenticatedLdapContextSource">
                 <property name="authenticatedReadOnly" value="true" />
                 <property name="password" value="secret" />
                 <property name="pooled" value="true" />
                 <property name="urls" value="ldap://plk.org:389"</value>
                 <property name="userName" value="cn=Manager" />
         </bean>


Thanks,
Albert

  You can deploy the CAS Server without SSL and it will function fine. The only change would be:

  1. In the cas-servlet.xml, the two cookie generators need the "secure" property set to false.
  2. If you plan on doing proxy callback to clients without SSL, the HttpBasedServiceCredentialsAuthenticationHandler needs to be configured to allow non-https urls.  Its a property on the handler. 

  I believe that is everything for the server.  On the clients, it depends on the client.  For the Yale CAS Client, there is a hardcoded check for https that would need to be removed.

    I have some questions about CAS and SSL.

    What parts of CAS actually require SSL? The client (CASFilter) seems to require that the validateUrl callback be "https" rather than "http". How about the server side? What parts there require SSL be used? The reason for these questions are that I am trying to find out if there is a way to use CAS without installing certificates. I know, Scott, Andrew and others on this forum have stated many times that CAS should be used with SSL. Still, I am in a situation where I need to use CAS with out any certificates being installed (because it is going to be hard to install it on the system in question). 
    I saw a message ( http://tp.its.yale.edu/pipermail/cas/2006-April/002652.html) where the implication seemed to be that SSL can be disabled with code changes. Can someone (Scott?) please provide more information on how to do this?

    Thanks
