CAS SSO

[Brandon@MediciGroup]

I'm working on a proof-of-concept in an effort to persuade my shop to
move at least some of our development-efforts from other frameworks
over to GWT.

But one of the requirements is that our apps have to be able to
authenticate against our CAS-server.

I have tried mocking-up the web.xml similar to how we do it in our
other apps but I keep running into problems.

Has anyone else successfully incorporated CAS-authentication into a
GWT-app?
If so, any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I've worked CAS authentication into my GWT app. Mine ends up
using Spring Security with its CAS modules, but it should work under
the JA-SIG client too (which eventually even Spring Security ends up
using I believe). What sorts of problems are you having? Except for
what you code your client-side in, and some specialized server
components (RPC or RequestFactory, which just use a regular servlet
for the initial communication), there shouldn't be any difference
really for setting this up versus any other Java webapp.

We have apps using CAS SSO, and do not use Spring at all, but instead Guice. 

Here is all that is in our web.xml

    <!-- Guice servlet setup -->
    <filter>
        <filter-name>guiceFilter</filter-name>
        <filter-class>com.google.inject.servlet.GuiceFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>

    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>guiceFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>

    <listener>
        <listener-class>com.mycopmany.ApplicationInitContextListener</listener-class>
    </listener>


Guice plugs the app into CAS programmatically.


Can you elaborate on the issues you are experiencing?
