Hi List:

Thank you very much for all your help.

I have security/workflow questions that I am not sure if it is due to my
beginner understanding of CAS.

My understanding of CAS workflow, whereby user is authenticating to
application via CAS, is as follows:

1 - User accesses protected page on application; application redirects user
to CAS for authentication
2 - User successfully authenticates in CAS and is redirected back to
application.
3 - The application calls CAS to retrieve the user's attributes (g.g.
student number)

For point 3 above, assuming my described flow is correct:

A) Does the application , at point 3, call an API on CAS to retrieve the
user's attributes?
B) How does CAS prevent an unauthorized application, from spoofing a
legitimate application, from using CAS for authentication?

Thanks.
