Apache2::AuthCASSimple - Apache2 module to authentificate through a CAS server

DESCRIPTION

Top

Apache2::AuthCASSimple is an authentication module for Apache2/mod_perl2. It allow you to authentificate users through a Yale CAS server. It means you don't need to give login/password if you've already be authentificate by the CAS server, only tickets are exchanged between Web client, Apache2 server and CAS server. If you not're authentificate yet, you'll be redirect on the CAS server login form.

This module allow the use of simple text files for sessions.

SYNOPSIS

  PerlOptions +GlobalRequest

  <Location /protected>
    AuthType Apache2::AuthCASSimple
    PerlAuthenHandler Apache2::AuthCASSimple

    PerlSetVar CASServerName my.casserver.com
    PerlSetVar CASServerPath /
    # PerlSetVar CASServerPort 443
    # PerlSetVar CASServerNoSSL 1
    PerlSetVar CASSessionTimeout 3660

CONFIGURATION

Top

CASServerName

Name of the CAS server. It can be a numeric IP address.

CASServerPort

Port of the CAS server. Default is 443.

CASServerPath

Path (URI) of the CAS server. Default is "/cas".

CASServerNoSSL

Disable SSL transaction wih CAS server (HTTPS). Default is off.

CASCaFile

CAS server public key. This file is used to allow secure connection between the webserver using Apache2::AuthCASSimple and the CAS server.

DEPRECATED : Authen::CAS::Client use LWP::UserAgent to make https requests

CASSessionTimeout

Timeout (in second) for session create by Apache2::AuthCASSimple (to avoid CAS server overloading). Default is 60.

-1 means disable.

0 mean infinite (until the user close browser).

CASSessionDirectory

Directory where session data are stored. Default is /tmp.

CASFixDirectory

Force the path of the session cookie for same policy in all subdirectories else current directory is used.

ModProxy

Apache2 mod_perl2 don't be use with mod_proxy. Default is off.

HTTPSServer

If you want to keep a HTTPS server for all data. Default is 0.

OK AUTH_REQUIRED DECLINED REDIRECT SERVER_ERROR M_GET

Apache constants to make pod coverage happy

VERSION

This documentation describes Apache2::AuthCASSimple version 0.10

BUGS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Top

* Old expired sessions files must be deleted with an example provided script : delete_session_data.pl
* Apache::Session::Wrapper certainly need Apache2::Cookie
* $r must be global for sessions with Apache::Session::Wrapper, add
  PerlOptions +GlobalRequest

in your virtualhost conf

* Apreq module must be enable in debian
  a2enmod apreq

or add

  LoadModule apreq_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_apreq2.so

in your apache configuration file

Please submit any bug reports to agostini@univ-metz.fr.

NOTES

Top

Requires mod_perl 2 version 2.02 or later Requires Authen::CAS::Client Requires Apache::Session::Wrapper
