Sometimes it’s useful to be able to run a development CAS instance which allows you to authenticate test users easily without createing lots of test accounts. I wrote casino-test_authenticator for exactly this purpose and you can get it running 2-3 minutes with Casino

First get a copy of CASinoApp

git clone https://github.com/rbCAS/CASinoApp.git
cd CASinoApp

Add the following to CasinoApp’s Gemfile

gem 'casino-test_authenticator'

Then configure config/cas.yml to include the test authenticator in the development environment

development:
  frontend:
    sso_name: 'CASino'
    footer_text: 'Powered by <a href="http://rbcas.com/">CASino</a>'
  authenticators:
    test_authenticator:
      authenticator: "Test"
      options:

And configure the database in config/database.yml

development:
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: db/development.sqlite3
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000

Get all the prerequisites installed

bundle

Load the database

bundle exec rake db:schema:load

And run the application

rails s

Or use -p to run it on a different port (the default is 3000)

rails s -p 9999

You should be able to access http://localhost:3000/ and log in when username==password
