Yes CAS CAS authentication is done via a webform, it is working fine.
I already started coding what we discussed, but came up with this error, I
am using Apache 2.2 with mod_perl2.0
In the log it says that Global $r object is not available.
My perl auth handler looks as follows
sub authen_handler {
my $self= shift;
my $r = shift;
my $user = '123';// WILL BE REPLACED MY CAS VERFICATION, DUMMY ONLY
# update connection record
$r->connection->user($user);
return Apache2::Const::OK;
}
But if we define the handler as PerlHandler $r is available
my httpd.conf looks as follows
<Location /secure>
AuthType CAS
AuthName "AuthCAS"
PerlAuthenHandler AuthCAS->authen_handler
Require valid-user
</Location>
