Select Ur CAS (Andy Ng) Select Ur CAS is an open source customizable full stack Apereo CAS sample project.

Select Ur CAS is a project aims to provide a customizable full stack CAS example, so you can have a solid example to work on top of when you start building your own CAS server with just a few clicks. I am still working on it but currently supported samples include: OpenLdap, Mysql, Freeradius Authentication. OAuth, Oidc, and SAML 2 clients. MongoDB, Redis Ticket registry and more.

Fixing web component load issues in uPortal (Benito Gonzalez: Pre-Recorded) When web components were first adopted by uPortal, we focused on the easiest way to get them onto the page.

Using this approach, implementers should see no longer see weird page loads caused by loading web components.
