Hi Experts ,

I am new to CAS  .

After going through  the cas proxy documents and Walkthroughs , i could
understand the use of a PGT and PT .  But i am still very confused about
the  PGTIOU .


My understanding is  to connect to  any backend service , the user requests
for a PGT using a ST and once the PGT is available he can generate  PTs
further .

I am a bit confused why the cas server sends PGTIOU , and if if it sends
where from the callback URL  gets the PGT .  More specifically the bold
lines below .


*"A request is sent for a PGT through /serviceValidate or /proxyValidate
URI. CAS server can't give PGT back in its response, because its not
convinced of the requestor identity. If the requestor identity is the
correct identity, then CAS says "IOU (I Owe You) a PGT" and sends PGTIOU. The
requestor, having received a PGTIOU in the CAS response, and both a PGT and
a PGTIOU from the proxy callback which was given as value of pgturl
parameter when request is sent, will use the proxy-granting ticket IOU to
correlate the proxy-granting ticket with the validation response. The
requestor will then use the proxy-granting ticket for the acquisition of
proxy tickets, if the requestor is the correct identity. "*



Thanks in Advance .
Sushant.
