All, I'm in the process of building our first Clustered CAS environment (3.5.2). I've spent the last couple of days reviewing documentation and building some configs (that I have not tested yet). After reviewing all of this documentation, I have some questions.
1. In the EhCacheTicketRegistry entry on the wiki, the echache-replicated.xml file seems to indicate that it would like to do manual discovery vs. an automated discovery. In the manual configuration in the rmiUrls value seems to have the same hostname entry twice (both localhost). Are these technically supposed to be different hosts, such as node1 and node1 instead of both entries being localhost? 2. With regards to the Service Manager Web App that is now available in 3.5.2, if you are setting up a clustered environment with MySQL for storing services, how does one go about making sure that when services are updated that each node understands that there have been service changes? Does this mean that we need to do some form of DB Replication between nodes? Or does this mean we setup a single MySQL instance and point both nodes at it? I noticed under the Service Management section that it mentions that for proper clustering support, we should be using a JpaServiceRegistryDaoImpl or LdapServiceRegistryDao. Are there any configuration guides on how to setup a JpaServiceRegistryDaoImpl. Additionally, if JpaServiceRegistryDaoImpl is used, will I still be able to use the Service Manager Reload Job to update each node with what services have changed? Conversely, if we are able to just setup a single node MySQL database to store services, does that negate the need for the Service Manager Reload Job? 3. I plan on doing the CAS-Shib integration in this new environment and I'm curious to know is there anything I need to be aware of from the Shibboleth with regards to configuring the cluster? Do I need to setup Tomcat Clustering for the Shib IDP as well as the CAS Server? Or will tomcat handle the integration without the need for special configurations? My apologies if some of these sound like simple questions, I have never setup a Tomcat cluster before and I want to make sure that I understand all of the moving parts before I get any deeper in this. As always, your help is greatly appreciated. Ben Branch UNIX/Linux Administrator University of Central Oklahoma ITIL Foundation v3, Network+, RHCSA 100 N.
