CASAuthNHeader to return user

[pouria Mahmoudi]

Hi Everyone,

In the documentation, there is a part said:

Directive: CASAuthNHeader

Default: None

Description: If enabled, this will store the user returned by CAS in an HTTP header

accessible to your web applications.

And this is the CAS configuration:

LoadModule auth_cas_module /usr/lib64/apache2/mod_auth_cas.so

CASSSOEnabled On

CASCookiePath /var/cache/apache2/mod_auth_cas/

CASLoginURL https://cas.server:443/cas/login

CASValidateURL  https://cas.server:443/cas/serviceValidate

CASDebug on

LogLevel debug

<Location / >

        Authtype CAS

        CASAuthNHeader cas_user

        require valid-user

</Location>

but it doesn't look like I have an http header. At least by doing Inspect Element on my browser I cannot see it.

Any help would be appreciated.

These headers are not sent to your browser, so you will not see it
there. They are only set on the server.

Excellent. Thanks That was it.

Hello Pouria, All,

To build on David's response, you should be able to echo out the HTTP Headers on the server side with whatever language you are using.

For example, in PHP see http://php.net/manual/en/function.getallheaders.php (Example #1) - just create a test page in your DocumentRoot, place that code in it, and navigate to its URL in your browser.

You could also use phpinfo() in PHP. Similar functionality is available in other languages (Java, etc.) as well.

Hope that helps.

Thank you,
-Neil
