Sophie, CAS definitely has a lot of moving parts. Patience, small steps and lots of testing.
If I understand correctly, your client application has a login form. You should be able to use REST to pass that user's credentials to the CAS server without having to redirect. If that is the route you choose, you will have to keep track of the user's session and associate it with the TGT. You may also have to manage session expiration. This sounds like a lot of work. If your client application does not have a login form, you will have to retrieve the user's login name and password from somewhere. This sounds risky. Is there a reason why you do not want to go through the redirect? If the user is already logged in through CAS the redirect will be very fast, the user will not notice. If you are concerned about the look of the login page, that can be customized to look like your application. Ray On Mon, 2017-08-28 at 10:01 -0700, SOPHIE Fang wrote: Thank you for the speedy answer! Really Appreciate it!! My questions might sound pretty silly to someone already quite familiar with the CAS Protocal. But still newbie as i am, may i ask..: Why the REST Protocol sounds like it's for application-to-application authentication. Will it really help my case? What i am trying to do-- Instead of redirecting to the cas login page everytime user hit my client application, user can just stay in my client application and hit login then somehow get authenticated via CAS while staying in the same page. Do you know the step by step how to achieve this? As i know about CAS so far, there is no baby sitting step by step. It's more like playing a puzzles gathering people's experience here and there. 在 2017年8月28日星期一 UTC-4上午11:44:05，rbon写道： Is this what you are looking for? https://apereo.github.io/cas/5.1.x/protocol/REST-Protocol.html Ray On Mon, 2017-08-28 at 07:21 -0700, SOPHIE Fang wrote: Did you find the way to do it?
