[cas-dev] Making CAS authentication parameterizable

[Harry Ng]

Steve,

Day back to your post on mid-Dec, 2006, what did you modify on the clients?

Firstly, are you using the java client implemented by Yale? If, in case, I
would like to use that java client and make some modifications, do you know
where should I modify?

I have read some codes in the java client, and found that extending
"edu.yale.its.tp.cas.client.ProxyTicketValidator" and its handler shall be a
way, since it is the original mechanism on parsing the response from the CAS
Server.

Other suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Harry
