Since CAS 4.0.0, the SAML support is no longer available in the CAS server itself but SAML 1.1 Ticket Validation Response and SAML2 Google Accounts Integration are optional components available through the cas-server-support-saml module.
If you want to enable SAML support in the CAS server, you need to apply the following steps.
...
While both features require the cas-server-support-saml module, they can be deployed independently.
To enable either feature the cas-server-support-saml module dependency must be added to your CAS Server Maven Overlay pom.xml file:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<dependency> <groupId>org.jasig.cas</groupId> <artifactId>cas-server-support-saml</artifactId> <version>4.0.0</version> </dependency> |
2) Enable SAML validation (/samlValidate url)
...
SAML 1.1 Ticket Validate Response Configuration
In addition to the cas-server-support-saml module dependency the following 4 steps are required to enabled the SAML 1.1 Ticket Validation Response. These steps are not required for SAML2 Google Account Integration.
Step 1 : Define samlValidateController bean and map it to /samlValidate URL via handlerMappingC bean in cas-servlet.xml
...
:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<bean id |
...
=" |
...
samlValidateController |
...
| language | html/xml |
|---|
...
" class="org.jasig.cas.web.ServiceValidateController" p:validationSpecificationClass="org.jasig.cas.validation.Cas20WithoutProxyingValidationSpecification" p:centralAuthenticationService-ref="centralAuthenticationService" p:proxyHandler-ref="proxy20Handler" p:argumentExtractor-ref="samlArgumentExtractor" p:successView="casSamlServiceSuccessView" p:failureView="casSamlServiceFailureView"/> |
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<bean id="handlerMappingC" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping"> |
...
<property name="mappings">
<props>
...
<prop key="/samlValidate">samlValidateController</prop>
... |
Step 2: Add the servlet mapping for /samlValidate URL in the web.xml file:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>cas</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/samlValidate</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping> |
3) Enable SAML 1.1 support
...
Step 3: Add the appropriate SAML arguments extractor in the argumentExtractorsConfiguration.xml
...
file:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<bean id="samlArgumentExtractor" class="org.jasig.cas.support.saml.web.support.SamlArgumentExtractor |
...
" /> |
...
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<util:list id="argumentExtractors">
<ref bean="casArgumentExtractor" />
<ref bean="samlArgumentExtractor" />
</util:list> |
Step 4: Add the SAML
...
ID generator in the uniqueIdGenerators.xml file :
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<bean id="samlServiceTicketUniqueIdGenerator" class="org.jasig.cas.support.saml.util.SamlCompliantUniqueTicketIdGenerator">
<constructor-arg index="0" value="https://localhost:8443" />
</bean> |
...
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<util:map id="uniqueIdGeneratorsMap">
<entry
key="org.jasig.cas.authentication.principal.SimpleWebApplicationServiceImpl"
value-ref="serviceTicketUniqueIdGenerator" />
<entry
key="org.jasig.cas.support.openid.authentication.principal.OpenIdService"
value-ref="serviceTicketUniqueIdGenerator" />
<entry
key="org.jasig.cas.support.saml.authentication.principal.SamlService"
value-ref="samlServiceTicketUniqueIdGenerator" />
</util:map> |
Step 5:
4) Enable Google support
Add the SAML views in the cas-servlet.xml file :
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ResourceBundleViewResolver" p:order="0">
<property name="basenames">
<list>
<value>${cas.viewResolver.basename}</value>
<value>protocol_views</value>
<value>saml_views</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean> |
SAML2 Google Accounts Integration
In addition to the cas-server-support-saml module dependency the following 2 steps are required to enable SAML2 Google Account Integration. These steps are not required for SAML 1.1 Ticket Validation Response.
Step1: Add the appropriate SAML arguments extractor in the argumentExtractorsConfiguration.xml file :
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<bean id="googleAccountsArgumentExtractor" class="org.jasig.cas.support.saml.web.support.GoogleAccountsArgumentExtractor"
p:privateKey-ref="privateKeyFactoryBean"
p:publicKey-ref="publicKeyFactoryBean"
p:httpClient-ref="httpClient" /> |
Add it to the list of arguments extractors :
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<util:list id="argumentExtractors">
<ref bean="casArgumentExtractor" />
<ref bean="googleAccountsArgumentExtractor" />
</util:list> |
Step 2: Add a new generator to the uniqueIdGeneratorsMap bean in the uniqueIdGenerators.xml file :
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<util:map id="uniqueIdGeneratorsMap">
<entry
key="org.jasig.cas.authentication.principal.SimpleWebApplicationServiceImpl"
value-ref="serviceTicketUniqueIdGenerator" />
<entry
key="org.jasig.cas.support.openid.authentication.principal.OpenIdService"
value-ref="serviceTicketUniqueIdGenerator" />
<entry
key="org.jasig.cas.support.saml.authentication.principal.GoogleAccountsService"
value-ref="serviceTicketUniqueIdGenerator" />
</util:map> |
