Class DirectCasClient

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Client<TokenCredentials>
    public class DirectCasClient
extends DirectClient<TokenCredentials>

    This class is the direct client to authenticate users on a CAS server for a web application in a stateless way: when trying to access a protected area, the user will be redirected to the CAS server for login and then back directly to this originally requested url.

    You should generally use the CasClient instead (this one is very specific and was designed for OAuth / OpenID Connect implementations in the CAS server.

    The configuration can be defined via the configuration object.

    As no session is meant to be created, this client does not handle CAS logout requests.

    For proxy support, a CasProxyReceptor must be defined in the configuration (the corresponding "callback filter" must be enabled) and set to the CAS configuration of this client. In that case, a CasProxyProfile will be return (instead of a CasProfile) to be able to request proxy tickets.
