The CAS/Liaison Service account is pre-configured in Slate and available from the Slate Template Library (STL). Instructions for adding it are in the Slate KB.
Password
Copy and save the password prior to saving changes, because once saved, the password will not be visible. You will need the password to configure the CAS API subscription with Liaisonwithin the Postman endpoints.
Allowed Networks
In December 2023 - January 2024, Liaison migrated their CAS systems to AWS. Initially, Liaison included in their documentation instructions to whitelist thousands of possible IP addresses and CIDR subnets in the allowed networks for the CAS/Liaison Service Account in Slate. Concerns about whitelisting so many IP addresses were raised; in addition, adding the suggested IP addresses (over 7K) didn’t solve issues with file delivery to the SFTP for either WebAdMIT delivered files or the CAS API.

Allowed Networks (Deprecated January 2024)
Below are the IP addresses that are included in the “allowed networks” of existing CAS/Liaison Service accounts for future reference. It is unclear which exactly are used by the Liaison systems, the following list is provided for reference/troubleshooting.

Configuration Portal/Prelaunch environment launch/open - institutions/programs are given access to set up the application configurations they can customize (questions, deadlines, documents, etc.). Level of customization is dependent on the CAS association rules/choices.
Configuration Portal “closes” - institutions/programs have finalized their custom configurations and submitted to the CAS association for “approval.”
Application Portal launch/open - the school-specific application becomes live/available to prospective students to access. Typically a few weeks/months after configuration portal has closed; during this time the CAS association reviews configurations and approves the configurations, and those final configurations are pushed from prelaunch to production.
Applicant data available in WebAdMIT - the last step is for the CAS to generate a new WebAdMIT “environment” for the cycle and then to push application data to it. Typically, the WebAdMIT “environment” will become available the same day the application portal launches, and application data will be sent the next day.

Per the Liaison API Support team 1/12/2024: UnfortuantelyUnfortunately, applicants have the ability to decide whether or not their information gets released to schools before their submission. If an applicant selects "No" for this release, then they will not show as in progress in WebadMIT WebADMIT and will not trigger that application.selected.file business event. |
