Vanila_Django_Cas_Client

Easy way to connect your Django application to a CAS server

NOTE: I use this app to illustrate how CAS Clients works. I shall clean, write some tests.

Functionality

Supports Token auth schemes Support Single Sign Out Can fetch Proxy Granting Ticket Supports Django 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11 and 2.x Supports Python 3.x

Settings

Now add it to the middleware, authentication backends and installed apps in your settings. Make sure you also have the authentication middleware installed. Here's an example:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'vanila_djangocore_cas',
    ...
)


AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
    'vanila_djangocore_cas.backends.CASBackend',
)

Set the following required setting in settings.py:

Set it to the base URL of your CAS source (e.g. https://account.company.com/cas/).

CAS_SERVER_URL = ""

CAS_VERSION="3"
CAS_REDIRECT_ON_LOGOUT="/"
CAS_REDIRECT_ON_LOGIN="/"
CAS_NEXT_DEFAULT="/admin/"
CAS_REDIRECT_URL="/"
CAS_STORE_NEXT = True
CAS_USERNAME_ATTRIBUTE = 'uid'
