Hi Scott, I completely agree your comment on this but below is the use case where I need to show userName/ other details from Principal Object on casGenericSuccessView.jsp
for example: we have 2 application that we have integrated with CAS: say, app1 & app2 our current implementation is like: user will try to access app1/app2, they will be redirected to CAS login, only after successful authentication that particular user will again be redirected to the particular application, the user has requested. Case: By watching the redirection url patterns, An intelligent user :) can directly access the CAS login page. in that case we thought of handling this scenario by showing the link(anchor tag) to our 2 application(app1 & app2). and here we have a requirement to show the userName/other user related details on casGenericSuccessView.jsp page itself. I believe this case should get handled by the CAS server by providing a straight forward API, though I don't know any other cons that can happen if you implement this. Even I have seen this requirement is been highly asked by different users in cas-user community including me (see the mail chain). Treat this as a suggestion to improve the CAS. Thanks you very much.
