Any thoughts on this? Is my description of the issue too vague?

 

Essentially what I'm hoping for is to be able to call/configure the
RESTful API so that it works in a similar way to the 'remember me'
feature on the login page. Perhaps this might involve having the RESTful
request for the TGT also return a 'remember me' cookie, like the login
form does? Maybe that same API call could optionally receive the
'remember me' cookie as well instead of a username/password?

 

Thanks,

Subject: [cas-user] Android integration with 'remember me'

 

Hi,

 

I have a J2EE server application that is using CAS 3.4.7 for
authentication. I need a way for an Android application to authenticate
itself with CAS based on user-entered credentials so that it can call
some secured REST services to retrieve data from my server application.
Given that OAuth support isn't available until CAS 3.5.0, this isn't an
option at the moment. I took a look at the RESTful API, which seems
promising. 

 

The other thing I need though is a 'remember me' feature, which we
already have for Web-based access (i.e. we've enabled and configured
CAS's 'remember me' feature). The session timeout on the server
application and the TGT timeout is set for 20 minutes, and the Android
application needs to have an option for a much longer timeout than that.

 

Is there any way I can get the 'Remember Me' feature to work with the
RESTful API? 

 

Is there some other approach entirely that I've missed?

 

Thanks,

 

Morley Howell
