Re: [cas-user] Help with custom authenticator

[Jean-Noel Colin]

Scott,




Now, I have additional questions:
where do I specify that I want to use a different type of Credentials?


Thanks a lot for your help

I managed to go past this step by updating my support() method to make sure my AuthenticationHandler support UsernamePasswordCredentials. if I need to return more information to the client app, I guess I have to use a CredentialsToPrincipalResolver to build a custom principal? under which form and by which CAS component is the Principal information returned to the client app? I guess it happens at Validation time? is it possible to use different sets of views depending on the client app? i.e. i have one client that includes basic forms through iframe and another client that uses 'normal' redirection to/from CAS server. How can I determine which views to use? is it possible to return different types of Principal depending on the client app? I have already CASified apps that are happy with the 'normal' CAS behavior (SimplePrincipal) but I also have another application that needs to get more info about the user (hence a different type of principal I suppose?)

What type of credentials does your custom class support? Is it the same kind that you're passing to it? By default the UI passes in UsernamePasswordCredentials.

Cheers,
Scott

I have written a custom class that implements AuthenticationHandler; this class is placed under WEB-INF/lib of the cas webapp (and properly found by tomcat) I have updated the deployerConfigContext.xml file so that under authenticationHandlers property I now have a line referring to my handler Everything deploys fine, I can reach the login page, but when submitting username and password, I get the error "The credentials you provided are not supported by CAS" Could someone explain what I'm missing or doing wrong? I'd be really please to document the whole process, but I would first need to get it to work
