What is the IP address of my CAS server?

Your hosted server will have one (or more) IP addresses assigned to it.  CAS setup & usage requires knowledge of your PUBLIC IP. This guide will help you quickly find it.

The simplest way:

Option 2: For Ubuntu (and other Debian derivatives), type on the command line:

• This will list ALL configured IP's for that server. 

• With most hosting services, the first IP will be the "public" IP.

Based on the aforementioned premise, THIS will list the public IP (only):

• Copy & paste the command ( usually Shift-Ctrl-C & Shift-Ctrl-V ) to avoid mistakes.

• Assumes the first listed IP is the "public" IP.

Option 3: Lastly, this method is yet another (more cumbersome) way to list all your server's IP addresses:

This file is required for email notifications (amongst other purposes):

and should contain your public IP (by itself). This can be quickly created with:

• execute as sudo (root)!

This file is required for the admin service to function:

and should contain your public IP. This can be quickly created with:

• execute as sudo (root)!

NOTE: Digital Ocean (as of this writing) has problems with the pipe symbol ("|") when using the WEB CONSOLE.

The pipe "|" will be mistakenly converted to a ">" and the command will FAIL.

They are aware of this glitch and are working to resolve it with their vendors. In the meantime, they recommend that you use a regular SSH console to accomplish tasks & scripts involving pipes (as used in this article).
