Single Sign-On with Apereo CAS

This tutorial walks a newcomer through standing up an Apereo CAS server for single sign-on and wiring a Java web application to it as a client. The complete CAS 7.1 server is available as a companion WAR overlay on GitLab. Note: This post has been rewritten for Apereo CAS 7.x. It was originally written for CAS 4.x, which you set up by copying the server source and hand-editing a pile of XML files (deployerConfigContext.xml, ticketGrantingTicketCookieGenerator.xml, …). CAS has changed completely since: the org.jasig.cas packages became org.apereo.cas, and the server is now built as a Spring Boot WAR overlay configured through a single cas.properties file.
