Cas 6.x.x
Install Tomcat 9
apt-get install openjdk-11-jdk tomcat9
Generate or Copy certificates from proxy with rsync
1) Generate self signed certificates
mkdir /opt/tomcat-certs && cd /opt/tomcat-certs openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 3650 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /opt/tomcat-certs/cert.key -out /opt/tomcat-certs/cert.crt openssl pkcs12 -export -in /opt/tomcat-certs/cert.crt -inkey /opt/tomcat-certs/cert.key -out /opt/tomcat-certs/fullchain_and_key.p12 -name tomcat -password pass:<password> chown tomcat:tomcat fullchain_and_key.p12
2)Add the public key of the user that is going to copy the certificates to the /root directory. More details here http://docswiki.newro.co/index.php/SSHKeyAuth#Install_key_authentication_for_an_account. Create script /opt/bin/letsencrypt-sync.sh:
/usr/bin/rsync -rl --safe-links --rsync-path="/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/rsync" <user>@<proxy-ip>:/etc/letsencrypt/ /etc/letsencrypt-proxy/ 2>&1 >> /var/log/letsencrypt_sync.log openssl pkcs12 -export -in /etc/letsencrypt-proxy/live/<domain>/fullchain.pem -inkey /etc/letsencrypt-proxy/live/<domain>/privkey.pem -out /opt/bin/fullchain_and_key.p12 -name tomcat -password pass:<password> systemctl restart tomcat9
Make it executable
chmod +x /opt/bin/letsencrypt-sync.sh
Install rsync if not already
apt-get install rsync
Run the script for initial copy
/opt/bin/letsencrypt-sync.sh
Make the converted certificate readable for everyone
chmod +r /opt/bin/fullchain_and_key.p12
Create a crontab for automatic copy
vi /etc/cron.d/letsencrypt-sync
And add this to the file:
0 1 * * * root /opt/bin/letsencrypt-sync.sh
Configure Tomcat
Enable encryption by editing /etc/tomcat9/server.xml, uncomment and change appropriately the next section(change password with what you used in script above):
<Connector port="8443" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
maxThreads="150" SSLEnabled="true" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"
keystoreFile="/opt/tomcat-certs/fullchain_and_key.p12" keystoreType="PKCS12"
keystorePass="<password>"
/>
In the same file, add/modify these lines at the end of the file to let tomcat see the original IP when running behind a reverse proxy
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteIpValve" />
<!-- Access log processes all example.
Documentation at: /docs/config/valve.html
Note: The pattern used is equivalent to using pattern="common" -->
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"
prefix="localhost_access_log" suffix=".txt"
requestAttributesEnabled="true"
pattern="%h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b" />
Restart tomcat and you should be able to access it at https://my.domain.com:8443
systemctl restart tomcat9
Add the following argumet to the HTTPS proxy vhost:
SSLProxyEngine On
Install CAS
Download the CAS Overlay Template needed for installation.
mkdir /opt/cas cd /opt/cas wget https://github.com/apereo/cas-overlay-template/archive/6.6.zip unzip 6.6.zip cd cas-overlay-template-6.6
First, you need to open the file build.gradle and add the necessary dependencies. Here are the base dependencies that you'll most probably need:
dependencies {
implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-webapp"
implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-ldap"
implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-jdbc"
implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-jdbc-drivers"
implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-json-service-registry"
implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-saml"
implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-oauth-webflow"
implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-oidc"
implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-simple-mfa"
implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-sms-nexmo"
}
For more dependencies like SAML, OAuth2, OpenID Connect, 2 Factor Authentication, etc. check CAS official documentation: https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.6.x/index.html
By default when building CAS, it doesn't make all the resources available, that you need to configure and customize your CAS instance. So you first need to make those resources available for the war file that you'll build.
./gradlew unzip ### explodeWar was the valid option before CAS 6.6.x instead of unzip rm -r src/main/resources/* cp -r build/cas-resources/* src/main/resources/
Note: if you are also building a failover server as well, or you think you'll need to rebuild the app in the future (e.g. to add another dependency) it will be easier to first configure CAS with the resources you just copied and then build it and copy the cas.war into the tomcat folder on all servers needed.
Now we can build the application war file.
./gradlew clean build [-Pvalidate=false]
Move the resulted war file into the tomcat folder
cp build/libs/cas.war /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/
Note: CAS 6.1 requires tomcat 9.0.27 (or newer), so if you have an older version of tomcat 9 it can still work but this will need to be set in /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/cas/WEB-INF/classes/application.properties
spring.autoconfigure.exclude=org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.embedded.EmbeddedWebServerFactoryCustomizerAutoConfiguration
To be able to manage what services/apps are allowed to authenticate through CAS, you need to add this line to the configuration
cas.serviceRegistry.initFromJson=true cas.serviceRegistry.json.location=file:/var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/cas/WEB-INF/classes/services cas.logout.followServiceRedirects=true
To set the ticket timeout use
cas.ticket.tgt.timeout.maxTimeToLiveInSeconds=43200
If you plan to implement OAuth2 on CAS you should specifically configure the service URL
cas.server.name=https://cas.domain.com
cas.server.prefix=${cas.server.name}/cas
cas.authn.oauth.user-profile-view-type=FLAT
If you plan to implement OIDC on CAS you should set the issuer URL and keystore location
cas.authn.oidc.issuer=https://cas.domain.com/cas/oidc cas.authn.oidc.jwks.jwks-file=file:/var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/cas/WEB-INF/classes/keystore.jwks
Comment these lines from the configuration to disable the default account.
#cas.authn.accept.enabled=true #cas.authn.accept.users=casuser::Mellon #cas.authn.accept.name=Static Credentials
To set an LDAP server as the user source use this configuration
cas.authn.ldap[0].providerClass=org.ldaptive.provider.unboundid.UnboundIDProvider
cas.authn.ldap[0].type=AUTHENTICATED
cas.authn.ldap[0].ldapUrl=ldaps://ldap.domain.com
cas.authn.ldap[0].useSsl=true
cas.authn.ldap[0].useStartTls=false
cas.authn.ldap[0].connectTimeout=5000
cas.authn.ldap[0].minPoolSize=0
cas.authn.ldap[0].baseDn=cn=Users,dc=<domain>,dc=local
cas.authn.ldap[0].searchFilter=sAMAccountName={user}
cas.authn.ldap[0].bindDn=cn=<bind-user>,cn=Users,dc=<domain>,dc=local
cas.authn.ldap[0].bindCredential=<password>
cas.authn.ldap[0].trustCertificates=file:/opt/samba-cert/samba-cert.pem
cas.authn.ldap[0].principalAttributeList=sAMAccountName,mail,displayName
Restart tomcat
systemctl restart tomcat9
Change login page design
Add a new logo
To add logo to the login page first copy the .png file /cas/WEB-INF/classes/static/images directory and change the file ownership to tomcat user:
sudo chown tomcat:tomcat logo.png
Add following line to /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/cas/WEB-INF/classes/templates/fragments/header.html before or after the "svg" tag contained in a <a> tag:
<a href="https://newro.co/"><img src="/cas/images/newroco_logo.png" style="width: 375px;height: 55px;"/></a>
To remove the drop down menu, remove all the
"<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">"
class.
Change the head bar background color
Add following file to /cas/WEB-INF/classes/static/css/cas.css line 11755:
header > .navbar {
background-color: #a1b1b9;
color: #fff;
Change the "Reset password?" button
Edit the text message /cas/WEB-INF/classes/messages.properties line 27 and the redirect link from /cas/WEB-INF/classes/templates/fragments/pmlinks.html line 32.
OAuth2
To be able to use the OAuth2 you first need to add this to the dependencies before building CAS
compile "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-oauth-webflow:${project.'cas.version'}"
Now create a json file in /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/cas/WEB-INF/classes/services/ to allow an app to authenticate with CAS using the OAuth2 protocol
{
"@class" : "org.apereo.cas.support.oauth.services.OAuthRegisteredService",
"clientId": "OAuth2AppToBeAllowed",
"clientSecret": "<secret>", ### can be generated with "openssl rand -base64 32"
"serviceId" : "^https://app.domain.com/path/to/OAuth2/endpoint",
"name" : "OAuth for my App",
"id" : 10000002, ### make sure this id is unique
"attributeReleasePolicy" : {
"@class" : "org.apereo.cas.services.ReturnAllowedAttributeReleasePolicy",
"allowedAttributes" : [ "java.util.ArrayList", [ "sAMAccountName", "mail", "displayName" ] ]
},
"bypassApprovalPrompt" : true, ### this is needed so the user won't be asked at every login if he wants to allow the App to use the info provided by CAS
"evaluationOrder" : 102
}
Troubleshooting
In case you need to see how the response from CAS looks like, here is how you can find out. First install jq
apt-get install jq
Request a token from CAS
curl https://cas.domain.com/cas/oauth2.0/token?grant_type=password'&'client_id=client'&'client_secret=secret'&'username=my.user'&'password=my-password | jq
Then request the info about the user with the received token
curl -k --user client:secret https://cas.domain.com/cas/oauth2.0/profile?access_token=AT-1-wiNsTgaHzXLUIyaaoFoip-znohWPihea | jq
Enable debug mode
logging.level.org.apereo.cas=DEBUG
2 Factor Authentication (2FA)
Note: CAS calls 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) as Multifactor Authentication (MFA). Mainly because it is possible to set multiple 2FA options in a certain order (e.g. user/pass -> 2fa sms -> 2fa email -> successful login)
To be able to use email 2FA you first need to add this to the dependencies before building CAS
compile "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-simple-mfa:${project.'cas.version'}"
Next you need to install postfix
apt-get install postfix
Add these lines to the CAS config in /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/cas/WEB-INF/classes/application.properties
cas.authn.mfa.globalProviderId=mfa-simple cas.authn.mfa.simple.name=Email MFA cas.authn.mfa.simple.order=1 cas.authn.mfa.simple.timeToKillInSeconds=180 cas.authn.mfa.simple.tokenLength=6 cas.authn.mfa.simple.mail.from=no-reply@my.domain.com cas.authn.mfa.simple.mail.text=This is your 2FA code for CAS authentication: %s cas.authn.mfa.simple.mail.subject=CAS 2FA Code cas.authn.mfa.simple.mail.validateAddresses=false cas.authn.mfa.simple.mail.html=false cas.authn.mfa.simple.mail.attributeName=mail spring.mail.host=localhost spring.mail.port=25 spring.mail.testConnection=true spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.auth=false spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.starttls.enable=false
SMS (Nexmo)
To be able to use SMS 2FA you first need to add this to the dependencies before building CAS
compile "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-simple-mfa:${project.'cas.version'}"
compile "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-sms-nexmo:${project.'cas.version'}"
Create an account on Nexmo (https://dashboard.nexmo.com/sign-up). After that create a new application, that should give you an api key and a secret.
Add these lines to the CAS config in /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/cas/WEB-INF/classes/application.properties
cas.authn.ldap[0].principalAttributeList=mail,telephoneNumber #you probably have this already in your config just need to add the phone attribute cas.authn.mfa.globalProviderId=mfa-simple cas.authn.mfa.simple.name=SMS 2FA cas.authn.mfa.simple.order=1 cas.authn.mfa.simple.timeToKillInSeconds=180 cas.authn.mfa.simple.tokenLength=6 cas.authn.mfa.simple.sms.from=CAS cas.authn.mfa.simple.sms.text=This is your CAS 2FA code: %s cas.authn.mfa.simple.sms.attributeName=telephoneNumber cas.smsProvider.nexmo.apiToken=<api-key> cas.smsProvider.nexmo.apiSecret=<api-secret>
Signal
To be able to send Signal messages we'll use this project: https://github.com/bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api/
First install docker. NOTE: this docker repo is for Ubuntu 20.04
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add - add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu focal stable" apt-get install docker-ce
Build and run the docker container for the Signal API
docker run -d --name signal-api --restart=always -p 127.0.0.1:5000:8080 -v /opt/signal-container-config/signal-cli:/home/.local/share/signal-cli -e 'MODE=json-rpc' bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api
Register(1) a phone number for the API or link(2) it as a new device with a pre-registered number
1.Go to https://signalcaptchas.org/registration/generate.html, open the developer console on the network tab, solve the captcha and then check the failed redirect to signalcaptcha://<captcha-string>. Copy the <captcha-string> after signalcaptcha:// as you'll need it at the next step.
Register the phone number you want to use for the Signal API
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:5000/v1/register/+40712345678' -H 'accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"use_voice": false, "captcha": "<captcha-string>"}'
Now you should receive a SMS with the verification code on the phone number you just registered and have to send it to the Signal API
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:5000/v1/register/+40712345678/verify/<sms-code>' -H 'accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
2.Install these packages that help view a qrcode at CLI
apt-get install zbar-tools qrencode
Get the QR code from the Signal API
wget http://localhost:5000/v1/qrcodelink?device_name=<server-name> -O /tmp/signal-qrcode.png && zbarimg -q --raw /tmp/signal-qrcode.png | tr -d '\n' | qrencode -l H -t utf8 && rm /tmp/signal-qrcode.png
On the device with Signal already set, open the app, click account avatar, click Linked devices, add new device and scan the QR code you get with the above command.
Now you should be able to send Signal messages (with either of the above methods) from your server
curl -X POST -d '{"message": "test message from server", "number": "+40712345678", "recipients": [ "+40712345678" ]}' http://localhost:5000/v2/send
If you can't send a message to more then 2 different phone numbers, then you need to enter the docker container and run some commands
# su signal-api # signal-cli -u <phone-number-to-send-from> send -m "test message from cas-test2" <destination-phone-number-that-failed> Failed to send (some) messages: +40712345678: CAPTCHA proof required for sending to "+40712345678", available options "PUSH_CHALLENGE, RECAPTCHA" with challenge token "8dbe5d53-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-eeeb1e8336e0", or wait "86400" seconds. To get the captcha token, go to https://signalcaptchas.org/challenge/generate.html Check the developer tools (F12) console for a failed redirect to signalcaptcha:// Everything after signalcaptcha:// is the captcha token. Use the following command to submit the captcha token: signal-cli submitRateLimitChallenge --challenge CHALLENGE_TOKEN --captcha CAPTCHA_TOKEN # signal-cli submitRateLimitChallenge --challenge 8dbe5d53-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-eeeb1e8336e0 --captcha signal-recaptcha-v2.6LfBXs...
For CAS you'll need this module added when building
implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-simple-mfa"
Create a file for the following groovy script:
#vi /opt/cas-groovy-scripts/sendSignalMessage.groovy
import java.util.*
def run(Object[] args) {
def from = args[0]
def to = args[1]
def message = args[2]
def logger = args[3]
["curl", "-X", "POST", "-d", "{\"message\": \"${message}\", \"number\": \"+40712345678\", \"recipients\": [ \"${to}\" ]}", "http://localhost:5000/v2/send"].execute()
return true
}
Make it accessible to tomcat
chown -R tomcat:tomcat /opt/cas-groovy-scripts
Add these CAS config lines in `/var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/cas/WEB-INF/classes/application.properties`
## # Signal 2FA # cas.authn.mfa.triggers.global.global-provider-id=mfa-simple cas.authn.mfa.simple.name=Signal 2FA cas.authn.mfa.simple.order=0 cas.authn.mfa.simple.time-to-kill-in-seconds=180 cas.authn.mfa.simple.token-length=6 cas.authn.mfa.simple.sms.from=CAS cas.authn.mfa.simple.sms.text=This is your CAS 2FA code: %s. The CASMFA- prefix can be excluded. cas.authn.mfa.simple.sms.attribute-name=telephoneNumber cas.sms-provider.groovy.location=file:/opt/cas-groovy-scripts/sendSignalMessage.groovy
And of course, make sure to retrieve attribute telephoneNumber from LDAP or what user source you use.
Trusted numbers
List trusted numbers
curl -X GET http://localhost:5000/v1/identities/<sending-number>
Trust a number (untested)
curl -X PUT -d '{"trust_all_known_keys": false, "verified_safety_number": "string"}' http://localhost:5000/v1/identities/<sending-number>/trust/<receiving-number>
Internal DNS records
If the CAS server and other web services that use CAS for authentication are behind the same proxy they will probably need internal DNS records pointing to the internal IP of the proxy to avoid loops in the firewall routing.
Failover
If you want to have a failover CAS build a second server exactly as above and configure a floating IP with Keepalived as below.
Keepalived
To setup keepalived, install it on both servers:
sudo apt-get install keepalived
Copy the nagios check "check_http" to /usr/local/bin, from the /usr/lib/nagios/plugins of a server that has nagios-plugins installed (please don't install nagios-plugins on the CAS servers, that package would install many dependencies).
Finally create the following /etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf on the master:
global_defs {
notification_email {
<email>
}
notification_email_from <email>
smtp_server 127.0.0.1
}
vrrp_script chk_apache {
script "check_http -S -H 127.0.0.1 -u /cas/ -p 8443"
interval 3 # check every 3 seconds
weight 2 # add 2 points of prio if OK
}
vrrp_instance floating_ip {
interface ens3
state MASTER
virtual_router_id 31
priority 101
authentication {
auth_type PASS
auth_pass justatestpass
}
virtual_ipaddress {
<floating-IP>
}
track_script {
chk_apache
}
}
Create exactly the same file on the failover CAS, just change priority from 101 to 100.
Restart keepalived
service keepalived restart
