pac4j = CAS/OAuth/OpenID client support

What is pac4j ?

pac4j is a github project : https://github.com/leleuj/pac4j.

It's a Profile & Authentication Client for Java. It targets all the protocols supporting the following mechanism :

1. From the client application, redirect the user to the "provider" for authentication (HTTP 302)
2. After successful authentication, redirect back the user from the "provider" to the client application (HTTP 302) and get the user credentials
3. With these credentials, get the profile of the authenticated user (direct call from the client application to the "provider").

It has a very simple and unified API to support these 4 protocols on client side :

1. OAuth (1.0 & 2.0)
2. CAS (1.0, 2.0, SAML, logout & proxy)
3. HTTP (form & basic auth authentications)
4. OpenID.

It's available under the Apache 2 license.
