We haven't added much, if any, security yet, because anyone who can CAS authenticate can now access the Manager. We need to add an authorization layer. For this we'll use the very simple Filter that comes with the Java CAS client to declare NetIDs authorized to access the Manager.

The SimpleCASAuthorization filter takes a whitespace-delimitted list of authorized usernames and asserts that the CAS authenticated username is one of these authorized users, throwing an exception when this is not the case. Here, for example, we authorize both user "awp9" and user "jdb53" to access Tomcat manager.

Add this filter declaration:
