Thanks for the response.

Can the filter in front of CAS Filter redirect to a page that is also
protected? Meaning, say user tried going to Demo1.jsp that is protected.
My filter intercepts and determines that datasource is not initialized. Can
my filter then redirect to Initialize.jsp that is also protected? Won't
that redirect cause my filter (and CAS filter) to be invoked again?


You can make sure that your "Initialization check" filter does not protect
the Initialize.jsp page and then it would not be run again on the redirect.
Your "Initialization check" filter would do a redirect rather than continue
the filter chain (you could also just redirect to CAS with the initialize
page as the service url).

Hmm, perhaps my filter can explicitly not pass Initialize.jsp on to CAS
filter just as it didn't pass Demo1.jsp to CAS filter..... (thinking
aloud)

Does this sound reasonable?

By the way, related to a previous question (issue #2), is there a way to
get CAS to display different error page when authentication fails depending
on the reason for failure? For example, can I display 1 error page when it
fails due to username/pwd mismatch versus a different error page when
datasource is not initialized? Does CAS support this behaviour?

Thanks.

You could put a filter in front of the CAS filters that checks for the
status of the datasource and redirects appropriately (otherwise it moves on
to the next filter in the chain which would be the CAS filter).
