Pycas

The pycas CAS client provides CAS authentication for your Python CGI web application.

Download the Python CAS client here.

STEPS TO ADD CAS AUTHENTICATION

1) Add four lines to your Python Web app like this,

import pycas
CAS_SERVER  = "https://casserver.mydomain"
SERVICE_URL = "http://webserver.mydomain/cgi-bin/webapp.py"
status, id, cookie = login(CAS_SERVER, SERVICE_URL)

2) Process the returned variables,

status carries the success or failure status.
id is the user's account name.
cookie is the header string to send to the client if it's not empty.
