Is there a way of invoking CAS through APIs or similar?

[Unai Rodriguez]

Dear All,

I am thinking of modifying the CAS login page to allow calls to URLs like
this:

https://mycasname/cas/login?user=xxxx&pass+yyyy

have CAS automatically try to login using the given parameters.

Is there something similar already built-in?

I am doing this for monitoring/testing purposes (i.e. every minute or so I
will have a script login in automatically to make sure CAS is fine).

thanksssssssssss,
