pyramid_cas v0.3

Introduction

pyramid_cas allows your application to authenticate against a Jasig CAS server. It takes borrowed concepts from different packages like django.cas, anz.client, and collective.cas.

License

pyramid_cas is licensed under the Apache License 2.0.

Installation

pip install pyramid_cas

Instructions

Required:

Include pyramid_cas under pyramid.includes directive in your .ini file like this:

pyramid.includes =
    [... other packages ...]
    pyramid_cas

Set the cas server that will be used for authentication:

pyramid_cas.cas_server = your-cas-server
pyramid_cas.redirect_route    - allows you to specify what route name to redirect to after succesful authentication

Optional:

pyramid_cas.callback.get_user - allows you to use a callback function to store a different User object after CAS authentication.
                                By default pyramid_cas will store (using the pyramid remember method) only the user id returned by CAS.

Example:

pyramid_cas.callback.get_user = adminsite.security.getUserObject
pyramid_cas.redirect_route = profile  # redirects to profile page on successful authentication

Use the following route names for login and logout in your application:

cas-login
cas-logout

TODO

• Implement CAS 1.0 protocol
• Add login and logout by injection and makes it configurable using tweens
• Add tests
• Add demos
• Prevent adding pyramid_cas without settings
• Add came_from parameter
