CASify an AngularJS web application

Zhou, Yan
We have successfully done that. Our CAS login page show both Angular material look-and-feel and traditional HTML look-and-feel based on the theme.
However, if you are switching CAS front-end to Angular JS, keep in mind that you won't get much benefit from Angular JS, as CAS UI is primarily a server side Spring Web Flow + JSP technology.
The reason we had to support Angular Material is because one of
the apps. has an Angular Material look-and-feel, so the login page
has to match that style.

Hi Jay,
Good question – we struggled with this a little while ago and devised a solution that worked for our Angular JS applications. This may or may not scale or apply to your situation.
We discovered that mod_auth_cas “sees” routes in Angular (based on URI anyway). We configured mod_auth_cas to trigger when specific URIs are accessed in our Angular application and use those URIs POST to a “login.php” file that simply returns the UID of the currently authenticated user(basically, just echoing $SERVER[‘REMOTE_USER’]) to the Angular app. The “login.php” file must also be included in the paths that mod_auth_cas triggers for.
There is definitely room for improvement. We hoped to use phpCAS but it did not play well in our Angular app (CORS issues).
We were also unable to locate a great example, so if you (or anyone else) figure something out, I would be very interested to learn about your approach.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
-Neil

I suggest that you look at these examples :
with java backend : https://github.com/jgribonvald/demo-spring-cas-angular
with php backend : https://github.com/prigaux/angular-seed
The problem with mod_auth_cas is that it doesn't take care of cas request logout ;)
Thanks
-Julien

This is great, thank you Julien!
We will look at angular-seed.
Our workaround for mod_auth_cas logout is removing the mod_auth_cas cookie and redirecting to the CAS logout page (in our application’s logout handler). Definitely not ideal but it appears to work – I’m hoping we can leverage something more robust like angular-seed+phpCAS going forward.
Thank you again,
-Neil
