README

Provides CAS authentication component for CakePHP applications.

Requirements

The master branch has the following requirements:

• CakePHP 2.2.0 or greater.
• PHP 5.4.0 or greater.
• Jasig phpCAS 1.3.0 or greater.

Installation

[Using Composer]

Add the plugin to your project's composer.json:

{
  "require": {
    "asaladino/cas_authentication": "1.0.*"
  }
}

Because this plugin has the type cakephp-plugin set in it's own composer.json, composer knows to install it inside your /Plugin directory, rather than in the usual vendors file. It is recommended that you add /Plugin/CasAuthentication to your .gitignore file. (Why? read this.)

[Manual]

• Download the CasAuthentication archive.
• Unzip that download.
• Rename the resulting folder to CasAuthentication
• Then copy this folder into app/Plugin/

[Enable]

Add CakePlugin::loadAll(); to bootstrap.php then implement it in the controller.

class UsersController extends AppController {
    public $components = [
        'Auth' => [
            'authenticate' => [
                'CasAuthentication.Cas' => [
                    'hostname' => 'cas.server.com',
                    'uri' => '/cas/',
                    'debug' => LOGS . 'log-file.log',
                    'disbled' => false
                ]
            ]
        ]
    ];
}
