How to integrate a login & logout event listener in CAS Server ?

[Scott Battaglia]

We switched to the Inspektr package for a few reasons:

1. It provides end-to-end auditing, it can track user, ip address, and
action all in one transaction
2. its an open-source library developed by two coworkers and myself that can
be incorporated into other projects, allowing for knowledge re-use.
Eventually the tool will include a web application to view the results.
3. supports statistics gathering
4. code is completely externalized from the CAS code so enabling/disabling
it adds/removes the code rather than the events being fired anyway and then
ignored
5. its generic so we can add new things to audit without creating new events
6. The code in the source tree was actually sample/example code on how to do
auditing using events, and not designed for production use (though it was
capable of being used that way). We stated this when it was put in place in
3.0, but I'm sure by now everyone's forgotten about that :-)
