Has anyone setup CAS authenitcation in Developer Studio before? From an MR perspective its simple enough. I have trusted sign on configured and I have set my http variable. Once logged into the MR through SSO I have no issues using developer studio. What I would like though is to be able to log into the SSO directly through Developer Studio. I believe I need to do this through the dssso.xml file on my local but I am having trouble getting that to work. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

below is what I currently have setup in my dssso.xml
  <authentication name="APG_CAS" desc="CAS Dev">
  <sso_logon_resource desc="Logon Resource" read_only="false" visible="false">
   <protocol default="https" /> 
   <host default="rendev.apolloglobal.int" /> 
   <port default="%%environment%%" /> 
   <path desc="" default="/cas/login.ajp" /> 
  </sso_logon_resource>
  <user name="user" desc="User Id" default="%%environment%%" read_only="true" visible="true" /> 
  <password name="password" desc="Password" default="%%environment%%" read_only="true" visible="true" /> 
  <logon_result name="CASSESSION" type="cookie" /> 
  <variable name="auth_mode" default="BASIC" visible="true" /> 
  <variable name="orig_url" read_only="false" visible="true" > 
   <protocol default="%%environment%%" /> 
   <host default="https://bi-dev.apolloglobal.int" /> 
   <port default="%%environment%%" /> 
   <path default="/ibi_html/index.html" /> 
  </variable> 


Thanks!

I have opened a case with IBI to see what help they may be able to provide. If anyone has any suggestions though, your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Eric,

I was wondering if you ever got this to work -- CAS with DS. If you did, would you mind sharing the solution?

I am implementing CAS for WF 8.0.06 and am having issues with DS.

Thanks,
Kim

Kim,

I was not able to get CAS working in 7703 with DS. But with 8.0.06, they have introduced the concept of Security Zones. In my sandbox environment I have my main zone set to CAS authentication, and my alternate zone set to the default authentication. This allows me to connect DS through the alternate zone. The Security documentation will explain how to set that up.

One thing to note about the alternate zone is that it uses an IP address. So you may want to consider having CAS be your alternate zone. I haven't been able to fully test my install out for how other users will be affected when it comes to the alternate zone. I do not know yet if the IP addresses of my developers will be consistent enough that I can use a wild card in the IP Address for my Alternate Zone.

Currently in my 7.7.03 install I utilize 2 clients that point to the same reporting server. Both clients are essentially mirrors of each other and I have them both deployed to 1 instance of Tomcat. As well they both utilize the same basedir which I configured in the client. This has allowed me to workaround the issue of not being able to connect DS through CAS. Although this is not the cleanest of approaches and I would express caution to anyone looking to go this route.
