Ray, You shouldn't need to write any code as long as the current Ldap*Handlers are sufficient to meet your needs. And you shouldn't need any code to get your username/password to the handler. CAS utilizes the Spring Web module which provides "binding" capabilities. Basically, you supply a domain class (in our case a UsernamePasswordCredentials) and Spring Web automatically matches Request parameters to properties on your domain class. So a parameter of username will be set on the UsernamePasswordCredentials as there is a matching username property.

Thanks Scott. That was useful. I have a question- It appears from all the documentation that I don't really need to write any code at all, just configuration changes in deployerConfigContext.xml are sufficient to get the FastBind adaptor to do the basic authentication against an LDAP server. Is my understanding correct? Related to that, how is the user name and password that the user entered get passed on to the FastBind adaptor in order for authentication to occur? Do I need some code to make that happen? I see a username and password under ContextSource. But that appears to be of the entity thats allowed to query the ldap server. Basically, I am wondering how to pass the username/password that the user typed in to the LDAP server for authentication using FastBind class. Thanks, Ray. PS: I really hope this doesn't turn out to be another thread. I hit reply to the emails I receive and despite that a new thread is created for all my response. ----- Original Message ---- From: Scott Battaglia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Yale CAS mailing list <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 26, 2007 6:36:28 AM Subject: Re: How to use LDAP adaptor classes?
