# How to test CAS as a developer without a server
|
|
|
|
The [django-mama-cas](https://github.com/jbittel/django-mama-cas) project is an
|
|
easy to run CAS implementation built on top of Django.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new virtualenv: `python3 -m venv <your virtualenv>`
|
|
2. Activate your virtualenv: `source /path/to/your/virtualenv/bin/activate`
|
|
3. Install Django and django-mama-cas:
|
|
```
|
|
python -m pip install "django<3" "django-mama-cas==2.4.0"
|
|
```
|
|
4. Create a Django project in the current directory:
|
|
```
|
|
django-admin startproject cas_test .
|
|
```
|
|
5. Follow the [install directions](https://django-mama-cas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#configuring) for django-mama-cas
|
|
6. Setup the SQLite database: `python manage.py migrate`
|
|
7. Create a user:
|
|
```
|
|
python manage.py createsuperuser
|
|
```
|
|
1. Use whatever you want as the username and password.
|
|
2. Leave the other fields blank.
|
|
8. Use the built-in Django test server to serve the CAS endpoints on port 8000:
|
|
```
|
|
python manage.py runserver
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should now have a Django project configured to serve CAS authentication with
|
|
a single user created.
|
|
|
|
## Configure Synapse (and Element) to use CAS
|
|
|
|
1. Modify your `homeserver.yaml` to enable CAS and point it to your locally
|
|
running Django test server:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
cas_config:
|
|
enabled: true
|
|
server_url: "http://localhost:8000"
|
|
service_url: "http://localhost:8081"
|
|
#displayname_attribute: name
|
|
#required_attributes:
|
|
# name: value
|
|
```
|
|
2. Restart Synapse.
|
|
|
|
Note that the above configuration assumes the homeserver is running on port 8081
|
|
and that the CAS server is on port 8000, both on localhost.
|
|
|
|
## Testing the configuration
|
|
|
|
Then in Element:
|
|
|
|
1. Visit the login page with a Element pointing at your homeserver.
|
|
2. Click the Single Sign-On button.
|
|
3. Login using the credentials created with `createsuperuser`.
|
|
4. You should be logged in.
|
|
|
|
If you want to repeat this process you'll need to manually logout first:
|
|
|
|
1. http://localhost:8000/admin/
|
|
2. Click "logout" in the top right.
