Very basic CAS Authentication for CakePHP 3.

Installing via composer

Install into your project using composer. For existing applications you can add the following to your composer.json file:

"require": {
    "snelg/cakephp-3-cas": "~1.0"
}

And run php composer.phar update

Usage

Load the Cake AuthComponent, including CasAuth.Cas as an authenticator. For example:

$this->loadComponent('Auth');

$this->Auth->config('authenticate', [
    'CasAuth.Cas' => [
        'hostname' => 'cas.mydomain.com',
        'uri' => 'authpath']]);

Or combine the load and configuration into one step:

$this->loadComponent('Auth', [
    'authenticate' => [
        'CasAuth.Cas' => [
            'hostname' => 'cas.mydomain.com',
            'uri' => 'authpath']]]);

CAS parameters can be specified during Auth->config as above, or by writing to the "CAS" key in Configure::write, e.g.

Configure::write('CAS.hostname', 'cas.myhost.com');
Configure::write('CAS.port', 8443);

Parameters

• hostname is required
• port defaults to 443
• uri defaults to '' (an empty string)
• debug (optional) if true, then phpCAS will write debug info to logs/phpCAS.log
• cert_path (optional) if set, then phpCAS will use the specified CA certificate file to verify the CAS server
• curlopts (optional) key/value paired array of additional CURL parameters to pass through to phpCAS::setExtraCurlOption, e.g.

    'curlopts' => [CURLOPT_PROXY => 'http://proxy:5543', CURLOPT_CRLF => true]
