-There are two subdirectories in this project;
+To run a CAS server and client application, just execute the command
 
-server - this is not a real maven sub-project in the sense that it builds anything. It is just here to allow you to
-         conveniently run the CAS server using the maven Jetty plugin with our preconfigured SSL certificates.
-
-client - this contains the actual sample web application which uses the cas server for authentication. It uses the same
-         certificates. In practice, the CAS server would likely be running on a different machine and both client and
-         server would have different certificates issued to the server hostname.
-
-Running the CAS Server
------------------------
-
-You first need to download the CAS server 3.3.5 distribution from
-
-http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas/downloads/index.html
-
-You only need the modules/cas-server-webapp-3.3.5.war web application file from the distribution. Copy this to the
-"server" directory inside the one that contains this readme file (i.e. copy it to samples/cas/server).
-
-You can then run the CAS server (from the same) by executing the maven command
-
-mvn jetty:run-war
-
-This will start the server on
-
-https://localhost:9443/cas
-
-If you point your browser at this URL, you should see the CAS login screen.
-
-
-Running the Client Application
--------------------------------
-
-Leave the server running and start up a separate command window to run the sample application. Change to the directory
-samples/cas/client and execute the command
-
-mvn jetty:run
-
-
-This should start the sample application on
-
-http://localhost:8080/cas-sample/
-
-Try to access the secure page (as with the other samples) and you should be redirected to the CAS server to log in. Note
-that the sample authentication module that comes with the CAS server webapp will authenticate any user whose password
-matches the username. So you have to log in here as rod/rod, dianne/dianne etc. Obviously the usernames must still match
-those listed in the application's user-service. 
-
-
-$Id$
+./gradlew cas
 
+from the project root directory. You should then be able to point your browser at
 
+https://localhost:8443/cas/
 
+to view the sample application. On attempting to access a secure page,
+you'll be redirected to the CAS server where you can log in with one of
+the usernames from the sample application context (enter the username in the
+password field too, to authenticate to CAS in testing mode).
