Much of the configuration of a custom CAS deployment is the same as with a Maven overlay, but is now controlled by Gradle with a custom, streamlined interface.

On Linux/Mac:

./cas-strap run

On Windows:

cas-strap.bat run

On Linux/Mac:

./cas-strap war

On Windows:

cas-strap.bat war

By default, cas-strap will use WEB-INF/cas.properties for properties. For external configuration, the location of the cas.properties file is controlled by 2 exclusive system properties (in order of precedence): etc.dir and etc.root.

If the etc.dir system property is set, cas-strap is configured to use ${etc.dir}/cas.properties for its properties.

If the etc.dir system property is not set, but the etc.root is, cas-strap is configured to use ${etc.root}/etc/cas/cas.properties for it's properties.

This behavior can be modified in the /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/spring-configuration/propertyFileConfigurer.xml file.
