I am trying to run https://github.com/apereo/cas-overlay-template on Windows 11 and JDK 11 (Eclipse Adoptium 11.0.16.1), using the 6.5 branch. I have ran the "createKeystore" and "copyCasConfiguration" gradle tasks using gradlew.bat, and it created the files below:

  1. c:/etc/cas/cas.crt
  2. c:/etc/cas/thekeystore
  3. c:/etc/cas/config/cas.properties
  4. c:/etc/cas/config/log4j2.xml

when I tried to run "gradlew.bat run", it hit the following error:

I believe this is due to Gradle thinking its running inside a Unix environment instead of a Windows one. Any changes I make to the c:/etc/cas/config/cas.properties file is ignored, which makes me believe that its looking elsewhere for the cas folder (not c:/etc/cas). Anyone got any ideas?

Please read: https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.5.x/installation/Troubleshooting-Guide.html#review-logs

CAS server logs are the best resource for determining the root cause of the problem, provided you have configured the appropriate log levels. Specifically you want to make sure DEBUG levels are turned on the org.apereo package in the log configuration

You could consider moving the configuration inside the CAS build itself in an application.yml file, instead of keeping it outside.

Try switching from tomcat to jetty as an embedded servlet server. It seems to have better windows support, and properly looks for c:\etc\cas\thekeystore.

To do that just replace -tomcat with -jetty as appServer in the gradle.properties file.

There might be a way to teach tomcat to look at the right place, but I didn't found it. The server.ssl.key-store setting didn't had any effect.
