  4. App Servers • Grouper UI is deployed on an application server • Most testing on Tomcat 6 • Deploy WAR file or modify server.xml file to deploy as an exploded WAR. • Load balancer persistence.

  5. Apache • Use a web sever like Apache to front end your Tomcat instance. • Useful if you have multiple Tomcats • Can help with authentication

  6. Authentication • Authentication handled by the filter edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.ui.LoginCheckFilter • Authentication succeeds if request.getRemoteUser() is set. • Default works easily with tomcat-users.xml file. • But also easy to integrate with Basic Authentication and Shibboleth.

  7. Authentication using Shibboleth • Set tomcatAuthentication to false in the server.xml file. • <Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" request.tomcatAuthentication="false" address="127.0.0.1"/> • Remove the security-role, security-constraint and login-config sections from the web.xml file. • Configure the Shibboleth SP.

  8. Logging Uses log4j for logging By default, uses the Grouper API logging configuration. build.properties allows you to use a separate log4j file.
