SYNOPSIS
A simple example with a direct CAS authentication
use AuthCAS;
my $cas = new AuthCAS(casUrl => 'https://cas.myserver,
CAFile => '/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/ca-bundle.crt',
);
my $login_url = $cas->getServerLoginURL('http://myserver/app.cgi');
## The user should be redirected to the $login_url
## When coming back from the CAS server a ticket is provided in the QUERY_STRING
## $ST should contain the receaved Service Ticket
my $user = $cas->validateST('http://myserver/app.cgi', $ST);
printf "User authenticated as %s\n", $user;
In the following example a proxy is requesting a Proxy Ticket for the target application
$cas->proxyMode(pgtFile => '/tmp/pgt.txt',
pgtCallbackUrl => 'https://myserver/proxy.cgi?callback=1
);
## Same as before but the URL is the proxy URL
my $login_url = $cas->getServerLoginURL('http://myserver/proxy.cgi');
## Like in the previous example we should receave a $ST
my $user = $cas->validateST('http://myserver/proxy.cgi', $ST);
## Process errors
printf STDERR "Error: %s\n", &AuthCAS::get_errors() unless (defined $user);
## Now we request a Proxy Ticket for the target application
my $PT = $cas->retrievePT('http://myserver/app.cgi');
## This piece of code is executed by the target application
## It received a Proxy Ticket from the proxy
my ($user, @proxies) = $cas->validatePT('http://myserver/app.cgi', $PT);
printf "User authenticated as %s via %s proxies\n", $user, join(',',@proxies);
DESCRIPTION
CAS is Yale University's web authentication system, heavily inspired by
Kerberos. Release 2.0 of CAS provides "proxied credential" feature
that allows authentication tickets to be carried by intermediate
applications (Portals for instance), they are called proxy.
This AuthCAS Perl module provides required subroutines to validate and
retrieve CAS tickets.
