Hi Thatcher, I also agree with Ray, an upgrade is necessary to bring this feature in.
In terms of why CAS 4.0.1 vs 4.2.x have this feature different: the log4j library is at *1.2.17* on CAS 4.0.1 https://github.com/apereo/cas/blob/v4.0.1/pom.xml#L985 While the log4j library is at *2.5+* at the CAS 4.2.x build: https://github.com/apereo/cas/blob/v4.2.0/gradle.properties#L23 Therefore, without upgrading your CAS, you will not be able to use this feature. Not only that, maintenance for CAS 4.x is EOL a very long time ago: https://apereo.github.io/cas/developer/Maintenance-Policy.html#eol-schedule. Upgrade to 6.x is highly recommended. Cheers.
