[05:55:27 CST(-0600)] <ries> Other days/weeks like now it's silent… properly nobody is doing CAS work before x-mass
[06:02:55 CST(-0600)] <codehotter> and here I am, implementing CAS _
[12:15:14 CST(-0600)] <ries> Is there a documentation that explains other authentication methods? In my case I have a md5 and a username I need to verify against a database rather then a username/password pair that a user needs to fill in into a form
[12:15:57 CST(-0600)] <ries> I am a bit confused how this goes, for example , should I create a UsernameTicketCredentials class?
[12:17:18 CST(-0600)] <ries> since I never used web flow I am almost leaning towards just hacking it into a AbstractUsernamePasswordAuthenticationHandler and get the request data from somewhere, but that can't be right?
[12:34:49 CST(-0600)] <KWhat_Work> ries: you may or may not need to create a custom class. I have only used ldap so I am not sure but iirc there are other modules out there that my work or that you can use to adapt.
[12:57:36 CST(-0600)] <ries> KWhat_Work: I couldn't find one that doesn't use a password concept (LDAP does…) I will give it a shot, and see what happens
[12:58:04 CST(-0600)] <ries> It's not easy when you don't know web flow though….. but I understand basic concepts
[13:16:28 CST(-0600)] <KWhat_Work> yah the docs dont really help either.
[13:16:58 CST(-0600)] <KWhat_Work> i would probably just override the auth module in your maven overlay
[13:17:19 CST(-0600)] <KWhat_Work> drop in a postgres connector if needed and just do the simple md5 checks
[13:17:35 CST(-0600)] <KWhat_Work> that will give you more flexibility in the future.
[13:18:02 CST(-0600)] <ries> I found this, but it's outdated : https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CAS/Using+CAS+without+the+Login+Screen
[13:18:27 CST(-0600)] <ries> And I found this : https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CAS/Using+CAS+without+the+CAS+login+screen but I cannot use that because I don't know the users password, and I even don't have anything to verify against
[13:19:07 CST(-0600)] <ries> I am going to see if I understand the web flow thing
