Coding Simply

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

1. Download the CasAuthentication archive.
2. Unzip that download.
3. Rename the resulting folder to CasAuthentication
4. 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
        ]
      ]
    ]
  ];
}
