CAS Authentication for CakePHP 4.x
==================================

[](#cas-authentication-for-cakephp-4x)

Very basic CAS Authentication for CakePHP 4.

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:

```
    "repositories": [
      {
        "type": "git",
        "url": "https://github.com/uazgraduatecollege/cakephp-casauth.git"
      }
    ],
    "require": {
        "uazgraduatecollege/cakephp-casauth": "~2.0"
    }
```

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' => [
            'cas_host => 'cas.mydomain.com',
            'cas_context => '/cas,
            'client_service_name => 'https://clientapplication.otherdomain.com',
        ]
    ]
);
```

Or combine the load and configuration into one step:

```
$this->loadComponent(
    'Auth',
    [
        'authenticate' => [
            'CasAuth.Cas' => [
                'cas_host => 'cas.mydomain.com',
                'cas_context => '/cas,
                'client_service_name => 'https://clientapplication.otherdomain.com',
            ]
        ]
    ]
);
```

Parameters
----------

[](#parameters)

- **cas\_host** is required.
- **cas\_context** defaults to '' (an empty string)
- *client\_service\_name* (optional) defaults to `$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']`
- *cas\_port* defaults to 443
- *debug* (optional) if true, then phpCAS will write debug info to your configured logger.
- *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]
```

### Note about parameter key changes

[](#note-about-parameter-key-changes)

Prior to release 2.0.0, several parameter used different keys. Release 2.0.0 updates `apereo/phpcas` to use at least version 1.6, which contains breaking changes. For better clarity, the previous parameter key names have been re-mapped to the new names, which match variable names as used in the `apereo/phpcas`[example client usage](https://github.com/apereo/phpCAS/blob/master/docs/examples/example_simple.php).

- `hostname` changed to `cas_host`
- `port` changed to `cas_port`
- `uri` changed to `cas_context`

cakephp-casauth looks for input parameters using the old keys to try to remain backwards compatible. Your mileage may vary.
