[cas-dev] CASA Authentication: Extracting extra info in session

[Smita Vithal Kharkar]

Hi Scott,



Thanks for your reply.

When CAS does authentication, it stores "edu.yale.its.tp.cas.client.filter.receipt" attribute in the session.

This is a edu.yale.its.tp.cas.client.CASReceipt object, calling getUserName() on this object returns the logon name of the
currently logged in user.

I need additional attribute to be retrieved and stored in the session with the logon name.
As this attribute is present in the same DB table in which LogonName and Password are stored, I think it should be possible to modify the CAS source code and achieve this.

FYI, the additional attributes are 'logon_name_appli1' and 'logon_name_appli2'.
Basically we are doing CCOW POC using CAS as SSO tool.
Here the two applications have different logon names for the same user, in order to simulate the login action I need to use application specific logon names stored in the DB table.

Please let me know if this clarifies my question.

Thanks & Regards,
Smita
