Hi Scott,
Thank you very much for the help. Now I think I understand the whole scenario and using jdbc in place of InMemory config for acegi to avoid
the same user/role appeared in config file again.
Now I'm planning to use "org.jasig.cas.services.JpaServiceRegistryDaoImpl" instead of "org.jasig.cas.services.InMemoryServiceRegistryDaoImpl"
for "serviceRegistryDao", but I could't find the database structure on wiki, or the database will be created automatically after I've finished config?
Actually in our project we alreay have a table in the database that servers the similar purpose. The structure is as following:
CREATE TABLE sps (
id char(32) primary key,
uri varchar(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
descr text,
enabled boolean not null default true,
expiration date,
created_at timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(),
updated_at timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW()
);
This table is to secure our webservice, if the incoming request is not from a registered SP, it will be rejected
(I think that's partly the same purpose with what CAS ServiceRegistry).
Is there any possibility, with some modifications and configurations, for CAS to reuse these informations?
If not, can I use the table created by CAS to adapt all the informations above?
It really seems boring to have two similar tables to have almost the same informations, because our webservice(Let's call it IdP),
a companion project with CAS that can do user registration and some business specific functions(our company want all the new
SPs to centralize the user information, no matter they have local database or not, they must put a copy of the profile in center
base and CAS is doing authentication on this database for new SPs), is deployed on the same machine with CAS.
And this IdP has a management console by itself, it it also has ServiceRegistry function, to use url checking secure the webservice.
If a new SP connected in, it means we must register the service in CAS and IdP again. It will be perfect if there's a way for it to be uniformed.
Thank you very much,
Li Wei Nan

The default of the Services Management console tool is to behave as if it wasn't enabled (since that is the default CAS 2.0 compliance mode). The first time you add a service to the list it will disable access.
The user details service contains the list of people are who are allowed to use the Services Management tool. The default version is an InMemory version that just has a list (since you are delegating to CAS the password is unimportant). You can replace that UserDetailsService with any of the ones included in Acegi (or write your own custom one).

Hi Everyone,
Could anyone tell me something about how to use the service management?
I've read the ariticles in wiki and it saids the purpose of service
management is to
"control what services are allowed to authenticate via CAS, and in
particular what those services can do with CAS."
But there's seems no problem to use it without configuring it,
I can still use the yale client on SP(service provider) side to
authenticate user with CAS (IdP side),
though the SP wasn't added into CAS ServiceMangement console. Could
anyone give me some clues?
One more question, it seems configuring <bean id="userDetailsService"
class="org.acegisecurity.userdetails.memory.InMemoryDaoImpl">
in deployerConfigContext.xml is not enough for me to logged into /manage
section.
Since I use JdbcDao as data source, when the CAS redirecting me back to
login page, and after I typed the username/password defined in
InMemoryDaoImpl, it will complained the "The credentials you provided
cannot be determined to be authentic."
To overcome the problem, I have to added into my database an account
which loginname/password is exactly the same with the one defined
in InMemoryDaoImpl, and then could I enter the management page. I wonder
if there's something wrong with my configuration?
The deployerConfigContext.xml I used is:
...
<bean
class="org.jasig.cas.adaptors.jdbc.QueryDatabaseAuthenticationHandler">
<property name="sql" value="select pass from usrs where
switch_to='O' and loginname=?" />
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
<property name="passwordEncoder" ref="passwordEncoder" />
</bean>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="passwordEncoder"
class="org.jasig.cas.authentication.handler.DefaultPasswordEncoder">
<constructor-arg index="0"><value>MD5</value></constructor-arg>
</bean>
<bean id="dataSource"
class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource"
destroy-method="close">
<property
name="driverClassName"><value>org.postgresql.Driver</value></property>
<property
name="url"><value>jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/edupass</value></property>
...
</bean>
<bean id="userDetailsService"
class="org.acegisecurity.userdetails.memory.InMemoryDaoImpl">
<property name="userMap">
<value>
[my_account]=[my_password],ROLE_ADMIN
</value>
</property>
</bean>
And I haven't changed any default config in securityContext.xml:
<bean id="filterInvocationInterceptor"
class="org.acegisecurity.intercept.web.FilterSecurityInterceptor"
p:authenticationManager-ref="casAuthenticationManager"
p:accessDecisionManager-ref="accessDecisionManager">
<property name="objectDefinitionSource">
<value>
CONVERT_URL_TO_LOWERCASE_BEFORE_COMPARISON
PATTERN_TYPE_APACHE_ANT
/**=ROLE_ADMIN
</value>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="filterChainProxy"
class="org.acegisecurity.util.FilterChainProxy">
<property name="filterInvocationDefinitionSource">
<value>
CONVERT_URL_TO_LOWERCASE_BEFORE_COMPARISON
PATTERN_TYPE_APACHE_ANT
/**/loggedout.html=#NONE#
/**=httpSessionContextIntegrationFilter,logoutFilter,casProcessingFilter,exceptionTranslationFilter,filterInvocationInterceptor
</value>
</property>
</bean>
For me to able to enter the /manage section, I have to add
[my_account],[my_password] into my database. It seems redundant.
The version I used is: JA-SIG Central Authentication Service 3.1.1
And our CAS website is:
http://edupass.chinaedu.net (it will be redirected to https)
Thanks for any help,
Li Wei Nan
