CAS Authentication

Added by Brendan Ragan over 16 years ago

Hey guys,
We use redmine and we were going to add cas authentication to it (initially testing against the ruby cas server but we'll also test against the jsig implementation) and I was wondering what the best method for doing this is?

Should we add it as some sort of plugin/rails engine? Is it something you'd want in mainline? If so - what's the best way to store preferences etc?

Beset way is to search existing plugin/docs about CAS auth, then integrate it :)

Has any new work been done on CAS authentication? Has anyone successfully integrated it?

You can use this?
http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASC/Ruby+on+Rails+CAS+Client

A Ruby implementation of the CAS client is now available at http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubycas-client/

The library is designed to easily integrate with Rails as an ActionController filter, but may be adapted for other purposes. The easiest way to install the client is via ruby gems, by typing the following at a shell prompt (you will probably need root access):

gem install rubycas-client

It can also be installed into a Rails application as a plugin:

script/plugin install http://rubycas-client.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/rubycas-client

Documentation and example usage is available at http://rubycas-client.rubyforge.org/

I've attached a patch to #2356. Use the second one, because the first one doesn't work. I'd like it if some other people tested it and we could get it into the core.

The current CAS plugin seems to block any API request to redmine.

It will request a username/password via HTTP Authentication but it wont accept what is stored locally nor will it work with API tokens generated by the user.

Has any one seen this issue or a way to work around it? I would really like to be able to use CAS in my environment

CAS is an authentication system originally created by Yale University to provide a trusted way for an application to authenticate a user.
