I've got CAS Auth. working on an app. in general. Now I want to grab custom roles from a DB. As I understand, I have to implement a custom UserDetails ... (e.g. http://www.ashishpaliwal.com/blog/2009/02/spring-security-%E2%80%93-implementing-custom-userdetails-using-hibernate/ OR http://www.codercorp.com/blog/spring/security-spring/writing-custom-userdetailsservice-for-spring-security.html)
BUT ... that requires I grab the userName (which comes from UserDetails). Feel like I'm in a chicken/egg situation here, or I'm missing something easy. I'm using the Spring Security method: https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASC/Using+the+CAS+Client+3.1+with+Spring+Security I tried something like this (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6161985/get-userdetails-object-from-security-context-in-spring-mvc-controller) with the default UserDetails but no dice ... Anyone else done this and/or have some pointers? ... TIA!!
