CAS Authentication for CakePHP 3.x

Very basic CAS Authentication for CakePHP 3.

Installing via composer

Install into your project using composer. For existing applications you can add the following to your composer.json file:

"require": {
    "snelg/cakephp-3-cas": "~1.0"
}

And run php composer.phar update

Usage

Load the Cake AuthComponent, including CasAuth.Cas as an authenticator. For example:

$this->loadComponent('Auth');

$this->Auth->config('authenticate', [
    'CasAuth.Cas' => [
        'hostname' => 'cas.mydomain.com',
        'uri' => 'authpath']]);

Or combine the load and configuration into one step:

$this->loadComponent('Auth', [
    'authenticate' => [
        'CasAuth.Cas' => [
            'hostname' => 'cas.mydomain.com',
            'uri' => 'authpath']]]);

CAS parameters can be specified during Auth->config as above, or by writing to the "CAS" key in Configure::write, e.g.

Configure::write('CAS.hostname', 'cas.myhost.com');
Configure::write('CAS.port', 8443);

Parameters

• hostname is required
• port defaults to 443
• uri defaults to '' (an empty string)
• debug (optional) if true, then phpCAS will write debug info to logs/phpCAS.log
• cert_path (optional) if set, then phpCAS will use the specified CA certificate file to verify the CAS server
• curlopts (optional) key/value paired array of additional CURL parameters to pass through to phpCAS::setExtraCurlOption, e.g.

    'curlopts' => [CURLOPT_PROXY => 'http://proxy:5543', CURLOPT_CRLF => true]
