The index is meant to be incremented by the adopter to allow for distinct multiple configuration blocks.

Indexed SettingsĬAS settings able to accept multiple values are typically documented with an index, such as =value. Additional validation processes are also handled via Configuration Metadata and property migrations applied automatically on startup by Spring Boot and family. The validation process is on by default and can be skipped on startup using a special system property SKIP_CONFIG_VALIDATION that should be set to true. ValidationĬonfiguration properties are automatically validated on CAS startup to report issues with configuration binding, specially if defined CAS settings cannot be recognized or validated by the configuration schema. This means if you somehow misspell a property definition or fail to adhere to the dot-notation syntax and such, your setting is entirely refused by CAS and likely the feature it controls will never be activated in the way you intend. Unrecognized properties are rejected by CAS and/or frameworks upon which CAS depends. All other settings are controlled and provided to CAS via other underlying frameworks and may have their own schemas and syntax. Lower-case kebab format, such as cas.property-name=value.S ettings and properties that are controlled by the CAS platform directly always begin with the prefix cas. When possible, properties should be stored in This is both true for properties that are owned by CAS as well as those that might be presented to the system via an external library or framework such as Spring Boot, etc. While all forms are accepted by CAS, there are certain components (in CAS and other frameworks used) whose activation at runtime is conditional on a property value, where this property is required to have been specified in CAS configuration using kebab case. For instance cas.someProperty, cas.some-property, cas.some_property are all valid names. Property names can be specified in very relaxed terms. Review the codebase or better yet, ask questions to clarify the intended behavior. If you are unsure about the meaning of a given CAS setting, do NOT turn it on without hesitation. CAS at runtime will auto-configure all required changes for you. You should NOT have to explicitly massage a CAS XML/Java/etc configuration file to design an authentication handler, create attribute release policies, etc. Note that for nearly ALL use cases, declaring and configuring properties listed here is sufficient. All these ideas lead to upgrade headaches, maintenance nightmares and premature aging. Do NOT enable settings unless you are certain of their purpose and do NOT copy settings into your configuration only to keep them as reference. Do NOT copy/paste the entire collection of settings into your CAS configuration rather pick only the properties that you need. This metadata may not always be 100% accurate, or could be lacking details and sufficient explanations.

The collection of configuration properties listed in this section are automatically generated from the CAS source and components that contain the actual field definitions, types, descriptions, modules, etc. # Whether account registration should present security questions and how many, to complete the registration process. # Whether the registration token will contain the server IP Address. # Whether the registration token will contain the client IP Address. # How long in minutes should the registration link remain valid.
