Casablanca, a ruby CAS client

Posted by petrik on Jan 30, 2009

In search of a single sign-on solution I came across rubycas-client. But I needed a tested solution with an MIT license so I decided to write Casablanca instead.
(Relevance wrote Castronaut, a tested ruby CAS server with a MIT license, for the same reasons.)

Current features

Casablanca can be run as a Rails plugin. Gatewaying (permitting the user to continue without authentication) is not implemented. Just skip the filter for those actions.

Casablanca includes a commandline Client to test getting service tickets from a CAS server.

Todo

I still need to implement proxing.
