[cas-dev] JASIG CAS Client for Java 3.1.0-RC1 - how to access User ID

[Alar]

Thanks a lot for a tip - problem solved!

I think there should be 3 kind of additional tips in this Wiki page:

1. Minimum set of filters required - I was missing Validation filter
as a new user I didn't know CAS concept well enough and I just
expected that Authentication filter will do all the job.

2. Short description for filters and their purposes - good for newbies like me.

3. Filter and filter-mappings ORDER is important - yes now it makes
sense after messing around with debugger a bit.

Thanks again,
Alar
