CAS server authenticating Uportal

[Fawad Rashid]

Hi
 
Is there a definative guide to CASifying uPortal ?. The no frills guide
doesn't seem to help. 
I am currently using uPortal 2.5.3 & CAS 2.0.12.
 
Regards

Hi Andrew
 
I tried edu.yale.its.tp.portal.security.YaleCasFilteredContextFactory and
now after the CAS login i am being redirected to uPortal's login page where
i am seeing the following error "	An error occured during
authentication. The portal is unable to log you on at this time. Try again
later.". I am entering "admin/admin" as the username and password. 
 
I have also gone over the tomcat logs but i cannot see any errors. On the
tomcat console i see the following message
 
2007-04-18 10:01:26,828 INFO
[org.jasig.cas.web.flow.AutomaticCookiePathSetterAc
tion] - <Setting ContextPath for cookies to: /cas>
2007-04-18 10:01:29,750 INFO

servic
e [http://localhost:8088/uPortal/Login] for user [admin]>
 
On the uPortal login screen when i try entering login & pwd admin/admin i am
getting the same error as mentioned above. What could be the reason for
this?.

Regards

Fawad

Fawad,

I think it will work if you use

root=edu.yale.its.tp.portal.security.YaleCasFilteredContextFactory

as documented in the No Frills Guide to CASifying uPortal that you link.
That approach requires the Yale-developed casclient.jar and
cas-security-provider.jar.  I believe these ship with uPortal 2.5.3.

uPortal CASification is presently in an unfortunate place where there's a
JA-SIG Java CAS client library that duplicates the functionality of the Yale
Java CAS client and uPortal security contexts, but the documentation and
particularly the uPortal source have not caught up with these changes.

Hi


I have managed to setup CAS with SSO using SSL, i have setup a CAS server
which is authenticating properly. Now i need to CASify a uPortal deployment.
My CAS server deployment should authenticate the uPortal deployment. Is
there a guide around somewhere for achieving this, i have gone through the
mailing list but so far i havent found what i am looking for. I am using CAS
3.0.7 & uPortal 2.5.3. I have already tried the following guide but i
believe it is a Yale implementation
http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASC/No+Frills+CASify+uPortal
 
Changes that i have made are as follows
 
Security.properties
 
=========================================================
 
# This is the factory that supplies the concrete authentication class
root=org.jasig.cas.client.integration.uportal.CasSecurityContextFactory
#root=org.jasig.portal.security.provider.SimpleSecurityContextFactory
#root.cas=org.jasig.portal.security.provider.cas.CasFilteredSecurityContextF
actory
#root=org.jasig.portal.security.provider.YaleCasContextFactory

 ===========================================================================
 
I am getting the following error (http://localhost:8088/uPortal/)
<http://localhost:8088/uPortal/%29.>  Using the default
SimpleSecurityContextFactory
 everything works fine expect that i have to relogin to the uPortal using
the uPortal login page. 


uPortal Error


Sorry, but uPortal encountered an error that is preventing it from
rendering. The error must be corrected by system administrators. Try again
later.
