Re: [uportal-dev] Portlets and CAS

[Eric Dalquist]

I think it is something we can get into the code base. I'm CCing Scott B. to see if the CAS folks would like to have any input before we picked a key that the adaptor would look for for passing in the PGT.

Thanks Eric! I've now successfully gotten ESUP Portail's CCasProxyPortletAdapter working in the Yale portal. It seems to work quite well. I wasn't sure where the code for the cas bean was, so I just used the low-level Java CAS objects to do ticket validation by hand in the portlet. As to the key naming issue, the code for CCasProxyPortletAdapter allows the key name to be overridden via a channel parameter.

What do other people think of this approach? Is this something we'd like to add to the uPortal codebase in the near future? On Nov 28, 2007 3:50 PM, Eric Dalquist < [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote:

    So Pascal Aubry pointed out
    http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/PLT/Portlets+using+Proxy+CAS
    which has a very good write-up on how they have done exactly this.
    Their approach looks like passing the PGT in as a portlet
    preference to portlets that declare the correct preference name in
    their portlet.xml.

    I'd like to get feedback on what people think of passing the PGT
    to the portlet as a preference versus a user attribute versus a
    request attribute. Also how should the naming of the key be decided?

    Hi all,

    We had some discussion at the unconference about proposed ways of
    handling proxyCAS from portlets.  I have to admit that I don't
    remember the entire discussion, and I'm not sure we reached a firm
    conclusion.  Now that we're presumably back from the conference /
    holidays, could we maybe continue that conversation on-list?
