login via modal window

[Pablo Vidaurri]

Hello,

On our website we wish to present a modal window for login instead of redirecting the user to cas/login which takes away from the user experience. Our modal window is react based.

I have come across this documentation regarding rest protocol. I guess we could make an ajax call to authenticate a user and create a TGT, even create an ST if necessary. Is there anything else I need to do like need to create a cookie on the browser side for the browser to use for subsequent SSO checks.

Pablo,

You'd need to implement the parts of the CAS protocol (https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.0.x/protocol/CAS-Protocol.html) that you actually intend to use.  So probably you'd need some way of persisting the TGT to the browser.  The CAS server also sets up a bunch of security headers, etc.

Trying to replicate the CAS server functionality from the REST API seems like a pretty big undertaking.  The REST API is really meant to model "applications as users".

From my point of view this doesn't seem like the best way to use CAS.

Thanks,
