Hi Carl,

Yes, I do get redirected to the service URL with the extra query parameter, but 
then I'm still not logged on to the application and the application log doesn't 
reflect anything besides me "landing" on that website.

On the other hand, going over your reply - "the service contacts your CAS 
server directly-- *not* via your browser" -
does that mean that we need to have port 8443 (and probably 443) open between  
the CAS clients servers and the CAS server? 
Thanks again for replying and helping me with this!

Niva



I believe everything is in a private development area, but I did try it and the 
first URL, going to the CAS server, lets me login correctly using my LDAP 
credentials and granting the service ticket :
2014-10-20 14:01:47,177 INFO [org.jasig.cas.CentralAuthenticationServiceImpl] - 
<Granted service ticket [ST-2-L0wFefAZudsyf27qjNla-xxxxxxx.temple.edu] for 
service [http://xxxx.temple.edu:9081/selfcare/setQuestions.jsp] for user 
[xxxxxx]>

On the websphere application server side I either get java error: Error 500: 
java.lang.NullPointerException,

Niva,

Do you have any public facing infrastructure in place for which you could give 
us a URL, or are your services and CAS deployment all in a private development 
area?

What should happen is if you give a URL like this:

  
https://cas.lafayette.edu/cas/login?service=https%3A%2F%2Fwebmail.lafayette.edu
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^         
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  Your CAS login URL                          One of your service URLs

You get a login page.  Once you provide credentials and authenticate, your 
browser should be redirected to your service URL with an extra query parameter 
like:

   https://webmail.lafayette.edu/?ticket=ST-abcdefghijklmnop-etc-etc
                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                  A service ticket

The CAS client in your service is supposed to extract the ticket and validate 
it (the service contacts your CAS server directly-- *not* via your browser).

Do you get redirected to your service provider with the ticket parameter?

Carl & Alberto Thanks so much for replying!
Guess part of being a newbie (aside from not really knowing what I’m doing…), 
is using the wrong terms – I don’t see any reference to service tickets in 
either the client or the server logs, so I’m assuming something very basic is 
being missed, but not sure what…

Thanks,
Niva

There are no *persistent* connections, but the CAS client will make an http 
connection to the CAS server when validating a service ticket.

Thanks,

Hi, Niva,

I think all the authentication stuff is done via browser cookies and redirects, 
so no such connections are needed. Indeed, in my setup (CAS + Apache-PHP) there 
are no CAS-Apache connections.
