Extendorg.jasig.cas.web.flow.AbstractNonInteractiveCredentialsActionor org.springframework.webflow.action.AbstractAction for newlogin-webflow step

[Andrew R Feller]

Scott,

 

I wanted to obtain the credentials through the standard CAS login page
and have them go through the normal CAS login process.  Once the
credentials are authenticated by CAS, I need to provide them to Lotus
Domino to obtain a LTPA token since a majority of our applications are
Lotus Notes applications.

 

What I decided on doing was to extend the AuthenticationViaFormAction
class to add an extra method "generateDominoLtpa" to generate the LTPA
via passing the credentials to Lotus Domino via sockets.  A new Spring
Web Flow step will be created between the "submit" and
"sendTicketGrantingTicket" action-states to handle this.

 

Thanks to both you and Andrew Petro for your help,

Andy

Andy,

You only need to extend the CAS class if you plan on collecting
credentials and submitting them to CAS (which doesn't seem to be the
case).

Hi everybody,

 

I want to introduce a new step in the login-webflow such that a request
is made to Lotus Domino for a LTPA token after the user successfully
authentications with CAS; this will use the same credentials the user
provided to authenticate to CAS.  After examining CAS 3 javadocs, I will
insert this step after the submit bean is successful.  However, I am
confused as whether I should extend
org.jasig.cas.web.flow.AbstractNonInteractiveCredentialsAction or
org.springframework.webflow.action.AbstractAction
<http://static.springframework.org/spring-webflow/docs/1.0.x/api/index.h
tml> . 

 

Which class should I extend and which points should I insert my new
step?

 

Regards,

Andy
