[cas-dev] How can one detect the client ip address

[Andrew Petro]

Note that the CAS 2 APIs made the ServletRequest available to authentication
handlers.

Documentation is available in the wiki on using the CAS2 APIs directly in
CAS 3:

http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CAS/Using+CAS2+PasswordHandlers+in+CAS3


Getting the IP address to the authentication handler feels a lot like
getting the REMOTE_USER header to the authentication handler, an example of
the latter is available in the wiki:

There is no easy way to access that event from an AuthenticationHandler
(other than putting it in a ThreadLocal).  You can extend the
UsernamePasswordCredentials to include an HttpServletRequest object and
create a custom CredentialsBinder to inject that object into the credentials
in the AuthenticationViaForm action.  This would then be available to any
handler.

Is there currently a method that will allow one to configure a generic
adaptor to an allowable set or range of specific ips ?

If not, how can one access the org.jasig.cas.event.HttpRequestEvent
from AbstractUsernamePasswordAuthenticationHandler ?
