  dependencies { 
    ...
    # LDAP support
    implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-ldap:${project.'cas.version'}" 
    # Services definitions in JSON files support
    implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-json-service-registry:${project.'cas.version'}"
    # OAuth2
    implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-oauth-webflow:${project.'cas.version'}"
    ...
  }

3. Set CAS version to build in gradle.properties

  # The version of this overlay project
  version=6.4.0

  #CAS server version
  cas.version=6.4.0

  sudo openssl pkcs12 -export -out cas.p12 -inkey ca-key.pem -in ca.pem -certfile ca-root.pem -password pass:secret
  # create JKS Keystore
  sudo keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore cas.p12 -storetype pkcs12 -destkeystore cas.jks -deststoretype jks -storepass secret -srcstorepass secret
