Installation guide for Integration of CAS with UniTime

Install and configure CAS as mentioned in the CAS community wiki demo in the following url https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASUM/Demo Most of the steps mentioned in the above url will be mentioned here. Step 1: Install jdk • Download and install the latest jdk version from Oracle’s Sun developer network website. • Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the path where the jdk is installed. Step 2: Install tomcat and set the environment variable CATALINA_HOME to the tomcat installation directory. Step 3: Use keytool to generate a certificate Reference: http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CAS/Solving+SSL+issues • Uncomment the SSL configuration with port 8443 in the %catalina_home%\conf\server.xml. • Set up the public/private key and keystore by entering the following command. This will create and .keystore file in the user's home directory. %java_home%\bin\keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA • When you are prompted for the first and last name, enter localhost (or the server name where CAS server is present) • Export the certificate from the .keystore file to a file called server.crt. %java_home%\bin\keytool -export -alias tomcat -file server.crt • Import the certificate into the default jvm truststore. %java_home%\bin\keytool -import -file server.crt -keystore %java_home%/jre/lib/security/cacerts • Test the SSL configuration by entering https://localhost:8443. Step 4: Copy the UniTime.war to the webapps folder in your tomcat installation directory Step 5: Copy the cas-server-support-jdbc-3.4.2.1.jar into the webapps/cas-server-webapp-3.4.2.1/WEB-INF/lib of your tomcat installation directory. Add the following to deployerConfigContext.xml present in the webapps/cas-server-webapp-3.4.2.1/WEB-INF directory under the property authenticationHandlers. users id password Comment the following in the deployerConfigContext.xml Add the reference to the datasource under the root tag com.mysql.jdbc.Driver jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/cas_unitime root root321 Step 6: Create a database in mysql called cas_unitime. Create a table called users in it with columns id and password. Insert the username and password to be authenticated for UniTime in this table. Note:- The username should match the username present in the users table of the timetable database (database used in UniTime) Step 7: Copy the following jars into webapps/cas-server-webapp-3.4.2.1/WEB-INF/lib - commons-pool-1.4.jar, commons-dbcp-1.2.2.jar, mysql-connector-java-3.1.13-bin.jar (this could vary depending on your mysql version) Step 8: Start the server in the bin directory in the webapps installation folder (startup.sh for linux and startup.bat for windows). Step 9: Open UniTime in your web browser using the link http://localhost:8080/UniTime/
