OmniAuth CAS Strategy Gem Version Build Status

omniauth-cas is no longer maintained! If you'd like to take over please open an issue!

This is a OmniAuth 1.0 compatible port of the previously available OmniAuth CAS strategy that was bundled with OmniAuth 0.3.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'omniauth-cas'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install omniauth-cas

Usage

Use like any other OmniAuth strategy:

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :cas, host: 'cas.yourdomain.com'
end

Configuration Options

Required

OmniAuth CAS requires at least one of the following two configuration options:

  • url - Defines the URL of your CAS server (i.e. http://example.org:8080)
  • host - Defines the host of your CAS server (i.e. example.org).

Optional

Other configuration options:

  • port - The port to use for your configured CAS host. Optional if using url.

  • ssl - TRUE to connect to your CAS server over SSL. Optional if using url.

  • service_validate_url - The URL to use to validate a user. Defaults to '/serviceValidate'.

  • callback_url - The URL custom URL path which CAS uses to call back to the service. Defaults to /users/auth/cas/callback.

  • logout_url - The URL to use to logout a user. Defaults to '/logout'.

  • login_url - Defines the URL used to prompt users for their login information. Defaults to /login If no host is configured, the host application's domain will be used.

  • uid_field - The user data attribute to use as your user's unique identifier. Defaults to 'user' (which usually contains the user's login name).

  • ca_path - Optional when ssl is true. Sets path of a CA certification directory. See Net::HTTP for more details.

  • disable_ssl_verification - Optional when ssl is true. Disables verification.

  • on_single_sign_out - Optional. Callback used when a CAS 3.1 Single Sign Out request is received.

  • fetch_raw_info - Optional. Callback used to return additional "raw" user info from other sources.

    provider :cas,
         fetch_raw_info: lambda { |strategy, options, ticket, user_info|
           ExternalService.get(user_info[:user]).attributes
        }

Configurable options for values returned by CAS:

  • uid_key - The user ID data attribute to use as your user's unique identifier. Defaults to 'user' (which usually contains the user's login name).
  • name_key - The data attribute containing user first and last name. Defaults to 'name'.
  • email_key - The data attribute containing user email address. Defaults to 'email'.
  • nickname_key - The data attribute containing user's nickname. Defaults to 'user'.
  • first_name_key - The data attribute containing user first name. Defaults to 'first_name'.
  • last_name_key - The data attribute containing user last name. Defaults to 'last_name'.
  • location_key - The data attribute containing user location/address. Defaults to 'location'.
  • image_key - The data attribute containing user image/picture. Defaults to 'image'.
  • phone_key - The data attribute containing user contact phone number. Defaults to 'phone'.

Migrating from OmniAuth 0.3

Given the following OmniAuth 0.3 configuration:

provider :CAS, cas_server: 'https://cas.example.com/cas/'

Your new settings should look similar to this:

provider :cas,
         host:      'cas.example.com',
         login_url: '/cas/login',
  	     service_validate_url: '/cas/serviceValidate'

If you encounter problems wih SSL certificates you may want to set the ca_path parameter or activate disable_ssl_verification (not recommended).
