 | "Version Compatibility" This client has been successfully used in versions of Confluence up to 2.0 Atlassian modified authentication to utilize the new Atlassian-User framework in Confluence 2.1. You should use the Confluence CAS Client for this and later versions. |
About
The CASSeraphAuthenticator is a CAS aware Seraph authenticator (a subclass of com.atlassian.seraph.auth.DefaultAuthenticator).
Methods
It has basically three methods:
| method | description |
|---|---|
| getUser() | returns the name of the current CAS user (and stores it in the session) |
| login() | checks the session for CAS credentials for a successful login, if not found then attempts validate the login request via the super class |
| logout() | invalidates any data stored in the session and logs you out of your seraph session. Note: this version DOES NOT destroy your CAS single-sign on session |
Notes
Versions of seraph before 0.6.5 may require the method signatures to be changed to use os_user's User object instead of java's Principal.
Attached is a developmental milestone of the authenticator used at Rutgers University.
Dependencies
| Dependency | Where to get it |
|---|---|
| casclient.jar | see Yale CAS client distribution |
| log4j-*.jar | take this from the product distribution seraph came with |

| servlet.jar | application server distribution |
I've attached a somewhat edited version that has hooks to DefaultAuthenticator to enable Anonymous access and Confluence account creation. Was compiled against Seraph 0.6.5 so will probably need to be changed to use Principal if run against Confluence > 1.1.2
