CAS + LDAP

[Matthew Jones]

O.K. Now that I have a working Tomcat installation on Ubuntu (with the 
security option turned off) I'm back to following the CAS with LDAP 
documentation (not using fast bind).

However, I am still unable to start the CAS server when I try to add the 
LDAP configuration. At least now I am in a position to be able to start 
and stop the CAS application from within Tomcat (although I do restart 
Tomcat to check that the error really exists).

Anyway, I made the change to the pom.xml file and CAS still runs and can 
be started and stopped. So changing pom.xml doesn't seem to upset my 
installation. The next step was to add the stuff to the deployer 
configuration but then CAS won't start at all. So I tried to minimise it 
further by not setting up the authenticationHandler, that is using a 
deployer configuration with the contextSource bean defined but not 
actually used. This made no difference and here is the contents of the 
catalina log file:

INFO: Starting Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/5.5
29-Jul-2008 12:32:50 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost start
INFO: XML validation disabled
29-Jul-2008 12:32:52 org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployWAR
INFO: Deploying web application archive cas-server-webapp-3.2.1.war
29-Jul-2008 12:32:55 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error filterStart
29-Jul-2008 12:32:55 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context [/cas-server-webapp-3.2.1] startup failed due to 
previous errors


And this is all I have added to deployerConfigContext.xml. Note that I'm 
now using a plain old LDAP server, not LDAPS.

     <!--
         | This is the bean specified in the CAS-LDAP documentation
         +-->
     <bean id="contextSource" 
class="org.jasig.cas.adaptors.ldap.util.AuthenticatedLdapContextSource">
         <property name="pooled" value="true"/>
         <property name="urls">
             <list>
                 <value>ldap://elvis/</value>
             </list>
         </property>
         <property name="baseEnvironmentProperties">
             <map>
                 <entry>
                     <key>
                         <value>java.naming.security.authentication</value>
                     </key>
                     <value>simple</value>
                 </entry>
             </map>
         </property>
     </bean>

Please help!

Cheers
