CAS Authentication for CakePHP 3.x
==================================

[](#cas-authentication-for-cakephp-3x)

Very basic CAS Authentication for CakePHP 3.

Installing via composer
-----------------------

[](#installing-via-composer)

Install into your project using [composer](http://getcomposer.org). For existing applications you can add the following to your composer.json file:

```
"require": {
    "snelg/cakephp-3-cas": "~1.0"
}

```

And run `php composer.phar update`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Load the Cake AuthComponent, including CasAuth.Cas as an authenticator. For example:

```
$this->loadComponent('Auth');

$this->Auth->config('authenticate', [
    'CasAuth.Cas' => [
        'hostname' => 'cas.mydomain.com',
        'uri' => 'authpath']]);
```

Or combine the load and configuration into one step:

```
$this->loadComponent('Auth', [
    'authenticate' => [
        'CasAuth.Cas' => [
            'hostname' => 'cas.mydomain.com',
            'uri' => 'authpath']]]);
```

CAS parameters can be specified during Auth->config as above, or by writing to the "CAS" key in Configure::write, e.g.

```
Configure::write('CAS.hostname', 'cas.myhost.com');
Configure::write('CAS.port', 8443);
```

Parameters
----------

[](#parameters)

- **hostname** is required
- **port** defaults to 443
- **uri** defaults to '' (an empty string)
- *debug* (optional) if true, then phpCAS will write debug info to logs/phpCAS.log
- *cert\_path* (optional) if set, then phpCAS will use the specified CA certificate file to verify the CAS server
- *curlopts* (optional) key/value paired array of additional CURL parameters to pass through to phpCAS::setExtraCurlOption, e.g.

```
    'curlopts' => [CURLOPT_PROXY => 'http://proxy:5543', CURLOPT_CRLF => true]
```
