> Let me know what can we do to take it forward. We need answers from the community about whether they can deploy VMs/appliances to production environments. I want to know whether we're creating resources for testing and evaluation or deployment resources for production environments. Those two cases have dramatically different requirements.
> I have built a simple VM with Ubuntu, Tomcat, CAS, OpenDJ and Apache. Do you mean Apache OpenDS for the LDAP backend? If Apache on the end refers to the httpd Web server, I would argue it has no place in the mix for a pure CAS deployment. The native connectors for Tomcat are built on top of APR/OpenSSL and provide better performance than httpd+mod_X for all cases of X (jk, proxy, whatever) that I'm aware of. I sincerely don't mean to start an argument about what set of components is best, but I do want to point out that different folks have different ideas of the ideal component set needed for production environments. I'm strongly of the opinion that Apache httpd only adds complexity with no consequent benefits, but I realize many folks are not of the same opinion. We will want to provide a justifiably ideal component set if we're endeavoring to build VMs for production deployments. On the other hand, no one will care about our choice of components, as long as they're reasonable, if the VMs are intended primarily for evaluating CAS.
