This question was also posted to and answered in the uportal-user@ email list.

The relevant thread:
uPortal 2.6.0 with CAS 1.0


Here's the response I posted there. The short version is that the Yale Java CAS Client library shipping with uPortal 2.6.x supports the CAS 2.0 /serviceValidate XML-style validation responses, but not the CAS 1.0 /validate two-plain-text-line-style validation response.

I have updated the uPortal user manual to better document this point.

Xin,

The Yale Java CAS Client library shipping with uPortal 2.6.0 will successfully integrate with any CAS server implementing the XML ticket validation response protocol, that is, the "serviceValidate" endpoint described in the CAS protocol specification, section 2.5.

http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas/overview/protocol/index.html

This validation response format was introduced for CAS 2.0 and did not exist in CAS 1.0.

The Yale Java CAS client shipping with uPortal 2.6.0 does not support the CAS 1.0 protocol.

It would not be difficult to modify that client or to otherwise produce a Java CAS client that speaks the 1.0 protocol and yet integrates with the uPortal APIs for CAS support.

I believe the CAS client that ships with uPortal should be compatible with the CAS 1.0 protocol. However, you may wish to confirm this with the uPortal users list.
