How to obtain a service ticket?

[t ray]

Thanks for the response.
What I didn't get from your response is this- Is doing the GET/POST and parsing the response a possible solution? My own knowledge about Spring etc is limited. So, figuring out how to create a Controller and wire it into the framework may turn out to be harder than doing a GET/POST and parsing the response. So, if it is possible to do a GET/POST and parse the response, I would like some pointers on how to do that.

Thanks.

If you want to do something like that I recommend creating a different endpoint Controller that takes your parameters constructs the credentials and passes them to an instance of CentralAuthenticationService which would allow you to obtain a service ticket which you can return as the body of your response.  This gets around the whole parsing the GET and doing a POST to the normal workflow.

I need to be able to authenticate a username/password combo received from a legacy NON-webapp. From reading some of the old forum messages( http://tp.its.yale.edu/pipermail/cas/2004-July/000617.html) , it seems I can do a get/post to the CAS login servlet and parse the response for a service ticket (not particularly appealing). Another method appears to be to use the ServiceTicketValidator class and call validate() with a service ticket. However, I am not sure how to get a service ticket in the first place (an unused service ticket is what I need). The documentation for CASFilter and CASValidateFilter indicate that these classes can be used to do validation but I am not sure how (there don't seem to be any validate() kind of methods on either of these 2 classes). 
 
Can someone please clarify? If I am going to use the get/post method, what is the name of the params to pass (Is ?username=xyz&password=abc ok?)
 
Thanks for your help.
