Usage

Use like any other OmniAuth strategy:

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :cas, host: 'cas.yourdomain.com'
end

Configuration Options

Required

OmniAuth CAS requires at least one of the following two configuration options:

• url - Defines the URL of your CAS server (i.e. http://example.org:8080)
• host - Defines the host of your CAS server (i.e. example.org).

Optional

Other configuration options:

• port - The port to use for your configured CAS host. Optional if using url.

• ssl - TRUE to connect to your CAS server over SSL. Optional if using url.

• service_validate_url - The URL to use to validate a user. Defaults to '/serviceValidate'.

• callback_url - The URL custom URL path which CAS uses to call back to the service. Defaults to /users/auth/cas/callback.

• logout_url - The URL to use to logout a user. Defaults to '/logout'.

• login_url - Defines the URL used to prompt users for their login information. Defaults to /login If no host is configured, the host application's domain will be used.

• uid_field - The user data attribute to use as your user's unique identifier. Defaults to 'user' (which usually contains the user's login name).

• ca_path - Optional when ssl is true. Sets path of a CA certification directory. See Net::HTTP for more details.

• disable_ssl_verification - Optional when ssl is true. Disables verification.

• on_single_sign_out - Optional. Callback used when a CAS 3.1 Single Sign Out request is received.

• cassvc - Optional custom IU option. Set to pass an application code to CAS.

• fetch_raw_info - Optional. Callback used to return additional "raw" user info from other sources.

  provider :cas,
    fetch_raw_info: Proc.new { |strategy, opts, ticket, user_info, rawxml|
      return {} if user_info.empty? || rawxml.nil? # Auth failed
  
      extra_info = ExternalService.get(user_info[:user]).attributes
      extra_info.merge!({'roles' => rawxml.xpath('//cas:roles').map(&:text)})
      extra_info
    }

Configurable options for values returned by CAS:

• uid_key - The user ID data attribute to use as your user's unique identifier. Defaults to 'user' (which usually contains the user's login name).
• name_key - The data attribute containing user first and last name. Defaults to 'name'.
• email_key - The data attribute containing user email address. Defaults to 'email'.
• nickname_key - The data attribute containing user's nickname. Defaults to 'user'.
• first_name_key - The data attribute containing user first name. Defaults to 'first_name'.
• last_name_key - The data attribute containing user last name. Defaults to 'last_name'.
• location_key - The data attribute containing user location/address. Defaults to 'location'.
• image_key - The data attribute containing user image/picture. Defaults to 'image'.
• phone_key - The data attribute containing user contact phone number. Defaults to 'phone'.

Migrating from OmniAuth 0.3

Given the following OmniAuth 0.3 configuration:

provider :CAS, cas_server: 'https://cas.example.com/cas/'

Your new settings should look similar to this:

provider :cas,
         host:      'cas.example.com',
         login_url: '/cas/login',
  	     service_validate_url: '/cas/serviceValidate'

If you encounter problems wih SSL certificates you may want to set the ca_path parameter or activate disable_ssl_verification (not recommended).
