Hi,
" Though, I think you could achieve that by creating the appropriate handler"

Could you abit elaborate on that one? Some leads how to implement this.

Thanks

Subject: Re: [cas-user] Impersonation support

Hi,

CAS doesn't have that feature out of the box. Though, I think you could achieve 
that by creating the appropriate handler : it would take the Admin credentials 
as well as the username to impersonate.

The main challenge and concern here is security, as this mecanism is extremely 
powerful. If I can trick it, I could be anyone.

The level of security requested for the Admin user should be higher than for a 
regular user : IP filtering or one-time password code could be extra checks (in 
addition to login/pwd) to mitigate risks.

Best regards,
Jérôme

I would like to know if cas support impersonation?
For example an Admin user can have the ability to "pretend" to be some regular 
user and have his roles, permissions, etc..

Something like Facebook feature: ".. View as Specific Person"

If CAS doesn't support that out of the box any suggestions how to work around 
for doing that?

Thanks,
ray.
