Usage ----- [](#usage) 1. Add this to the project with `composer require silecs/yii2-auth-cas` 2. Configure the Yii2 application, e.g. in `backend/config/main.php` : ``` return [ ... 'modules' => [ 'cas' => [ 'class' => 'silecs\yii2auth\cas\CasModule', 'config' => [ 'host' => 'ssoserver.example.com', 'port' => '443', 'path' => '/idp/profile/cas', // optional parameters 'certfile' => '', // empty, or path to a SSL cert, or false to ignore certs 'debug' => true, // will add many logs into X/runtime/logs/cas.log ], ], ``` 3. Add actions that use this CAS module, e.g. in `SiteController` : ``` public function actionLogin() { if (!Yii::$app->user->isGuest) { return $this->goHome(); } return $this->redirect(['/cas/auth/login']); } public function actionLogout() { if (Yii::$app->user->isGuest) { return $this->redirect(['/cas/auth/logout']); } return $this->goHome(); } ``` Notes ----- [](#notes) The `user` component that implements `yii\web\IdentityInterface`will be used to fetch the local profile after querying the CAS server. It means that if `User` is the App component and CAS returns a username of "bibendum", the authentication will be successful if and only if the result of `User::findIdentity("bibendum")` is not null. The action path '/cas/auth/login' starts with the alias of the module, as defined in the application configuration, e.g. `'cas'` in `'modules' => [ 'cas' => [ ... ] ]`. ### Testing with a CAS container [](#testing-with-a-cas-container) Here are some instructions on deploying a Docker CAS server to test this library. This procedure will use the CAS interface of a Shibboleth instance. This was tested on Debian Stretch and Buster (testing). 1. Install `docker` from the extra repository at docker.io (I had errors with the older docker from the official Debian repository). 2. Install `docker-compose` either from Debian or docker.io. 3. Git clone If using an old docker-compose, then chekout 3c29f10 because later commits require a too recent feature. 4. Modify `docker-compose.yml` so that the container won't try to use the port 80, so replace `"80:80"` with `"8080:80"`. 5. If your local Yii2 application is not using HTTPS, modify `idp/shibboleth-idp/conf/cas-protocol.xml`to replace `c:regex="https://idptestbed/.*"` by `c:regex="https?://idptestbed/.*"`. 6. Add `127.0.0.1 idptestbed` to `/etc/hosts`, as root. 7. Configure your Yii2 application to use: ``` 'host' => 'idptestbed', 'port' => '443', 'path' => '/idp/profile/cas', 'certfile' => false, 'debug' => true, ``` 8. Start the containers: ``` docker-compose build docker-compose run ``` 9. Go to the login page of your Yii2 app. 10. Ctrl-C in the containers termainal to end them. You can modify `ldap/users.ldif` if you want to add users to the CAS. Don't forget to rebuild the Docker images after this. ### Health Score 34 — LowBetter than 77% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity21 Limited adoption so far Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity68 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 66.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
