Customizing CAS SSO

The Allegra CAS SSO server can be widely customized. There are two approaches you can take:

• Lightweight customization via css and HTML templates in place

• Full customization via a war file rebuild

Lightweight Customization

You can modify the appearance of the SSO system changing the files in

webapps/<context name>/WEB-INF/classes/templates/fragments

and the style sheet in

webapps/<context name>/WEB-INF/classes/static/css/cas.

The disadvantage of this approach is that your changes will be overwritten with a new deployment of the application. We recommend using diff and patch on Unix based systems to automate the patch process.

Full Customization

You can configure the entire application behaviour using the CAS overlay technique. It is beyond the scope of this manual to describe this procedure here.
