I'd like to integrate Actuate's "Information Console" (see
http://www.actuate.com/home/) with CAS.
The "Information Console" is a java web app. It has a "security
extension", which their support person says is really an 'adapter',
not an extension. You implement it by writing a class that extends a
class that comes with the product. Your class must implement the
following methods:
authenticate()
getExtendedCredentials()
getPassword()
getUserName()
getVolume()
isEnterprise()
My question is : I have no idea how to write this class such that it
requires CAS to authenticate.
The Actuate support organization gave me an example class. In the
example, all of the above f()s were trivial, except authenticate(),
which was as follows:
public boolean authenticate(HttpServletRequest httpservletrequest)
{
boolean authenticated = true;
System.out.println("-----");
System.out.println(String.valueOf(authenticated));
System.out.println(this.sUserName);
System.out.println(this.sPassword);
System.out.println(this.sHomeFolder);
System.out.println(this.sServerUrl);
System.out.println(this.sVolumeName);
System.out.println("-----");
return authenticated;
}
I assume that I need to do 2 basic things:
1) redirect http agent to my CAS server if it hasn't been there already;
2) validate the CAS ticket if one exists.
Is that assumption correct? If so, can someone point me to some
example code I can modify to achieve this?
Is the 'TicketValidator.java' at
https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASChttps://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASC/JA-SIG+Java+Client+Simple+WebApp+Sample/JA-SIG+Java+Client+Simple+WebApp+Sample
an example of basic item #2 above? Or, does it handle #1 _and_ #2?
Or, neither?
Thanks for any guidance you lend,
Jon
