Thanks for the response.
What I didn't get from your response is this- Is doing the GET/POST and parsing
the response a possible solution? My own knowledge about Spring etc is limited.
So, figuring out how to create a Controller and wire it into the framework may
turn out to be harder than doing a GET/POST and parsing the response. So, if it
is possible to do a GET/POST and parse the response, I would like some pointers
on how to do that.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: How to obtain a service ticket?
If you want to do something like that I recommend creating a different endpoint
Controller that takes your parameters constructs the credentials and passes
them to an instance of CentralAuthenticationService which would allow you to
obtain a service ticket which you can return as the body of your response.
This gets around the whole parsing the GET and doing a POST to the normal
workflow.

I need to be able to authenticate a username/password combo received from a
legacy NON-webapp. From reading some of the old forum messages(
http://tp.its.yale.edu/pipermail/cas/2004-July/000617.html) , it seems I can do
a get/post to the CAS login servlet and parse the response for a service ticket
(not particularly appealing). Another method appears to be to use the
ServiceTicketValidator class and call validate() with a service ticket.
However, I am not sure how to get a service ticket in the first place (an
unused service ticket is what I need). The documentation for CASFilter and
CASValidateFilter indicate that these classes can be used to do validation but
I am not sure how (there don't seem to be any validate() kind of methods on
either of these 2 classes).
Can someone please clarify? If I am going to use the get/post method, what is
the name of the params to pass (Is ?username=xyz&password=abc ok?)
Thanks for your help.
