CAS 7.3.3 TARGET query parameter

[Pablo Vidaurri]

I'm working why I cannot pick up TARGET or SERVICE query paramter in my flow.

It looks like CasProtocolConstants.java which is used by WebApplicationServiceFactory.java has the following:

 String PARAMETER_SERVICE = "service";

    String PARAMETER_TARGET_SERVICE = "targetService";

Only way i get get this to work is by hitting a url like

https://localhost/cas/login?service=

or

https://localhost/cas/login?targetService=

TARGET or SERVICE used to work

No one else is having a problem with this?

Are you able to change your use of TARGET to something like 'DESTINATION'?

'TARGET' is used by SAML 1.1 services when redirecting to cas.

I just created a filter to remap SERVICE and TARGET to CasProtocolConstants.PARAMETER_SERVICE. All looks to be working again.

My issue maybe that we are still using CAS client version 3.2.x
