CAS3 Client for Liferay6 with ClearPass and Proxy Ticket Support

Introduction

Liferay6 supports CAS out-of-the-box but without support for CAS ClearPass or Proxy Tickets. This package fixes that.

Dependencies

• Liferay CE 6.x
• Liferay CE 6.x plugins SDK
• CAS Server 3.x optionally with ClearPass support

Deployment

1. Install Liferay CE 6.x plugins SDK and make sure build.{username}.properties points to your deployment
2. Under ext/ mkdir cas3-ext/ and places this package there
3. Start up liferay
4. cd cas3-ext; ant clean deploy
5. Login into liferay and using the Control Panel and makes these changes:

   liferay contro planel > settings > authentication > General:

   • How do users authenticate? change to By Screen Name

   liferay control planel > settings > authentication > CAS:

   • enabled checked
   • Login URL: https://cas.example.org:8443/cas/login
   • Logout URL: https://cas.example.org:8443/cas/logout
   • Server Name: portal.example.org:8443
   • Server URL: https://cas.example.org:8443/cas

6. edit ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml and comment out the stock SSO filters
7. Restart Liferay

Clicking on login should take you to the CAS login screen.

Notes

For this to work you need to have a properly configured CAS server with ClearPass enabled and both services must be running over SSL. You may also need to edit web.xml and properties-ext.xml to have the right CAS and portal URLs.
