keycloak-protocol-cas

This plugin for Keycloak Identity and Access Management (http://www.keycloak.org) adds the CAS 3.0 SSO protocol
as an available client protocol to the Keycloak system. It implements the required Service Provider Interfaces (SPIs)
for a Login Protocol and will be picked up and made available by Keycloak automatically once installed.

Features

The following CAS features are currently implemented:
* CAS 1.0/2.0/3.0 compliant Login/Logout and Service Ticket Validation
* Single Logout (SLO)
* Filtering of provided service against configured redirect URIs
* JSON and XML response types
* Mapping of custom user attributes to CAS assertion attributes

The following features are missing:
* SAML request/response [CAS 3.0 - optional]

The following features are out of scope:
* Long-Term Tickets - Remember-Me [CAS 3.0 - optional]

Compatibility

The CAS plugin has been tested against the same Keycloak version as the plugin version.

As a rule of thumb plugin version should match your Keycloak version.

Installation

Quarkus is the default distribution method of Keycloak 17.0.0 and newer. For legacy installations using WildFly, please refer to the old README.

1. Download the latest release compatible with your Keycloak version from the releases page.
2. Put the downloaded JAR file into the providers/ directory inside Keycloak installation folder. If necessary, adjust the permissions/ownership so that the user Keycloak runs as is able to read this file.
3. Stop the Keycloak server.
4. (Re-)build the installation using kc.sh build command.
5. Start the Keycloak: kc.sh start

Remember to update plugin artifact with each Keycloak server upgrade!

Configuration

To use the new protocol, you have to create a client within Keycloak as usual, selecting cas as protocol.
As there is no client ID indication in protocol, the client will be identified by the redirect URIs
configured in Keycloak.

Enter https://your.keycloak.host/realms/master/protocol/cas as the CAS URL into your SP.
This assumes that you use the default master realm - if not, modify the URL accordingly.

Note that some client implementations require you to enter login and validate URLs, not CAS URL!
This manifests with "Page Not Found" error on login attempt
(see issue #27 for example).
In such case append /login to the CAS URL to get the "login URL".
Similarly append /serviceValidate to get the "validate URL".

Disclaimer

This plugin was implemented from scratch to comply to the official CAS protocol specification,
and is based heavily on the OpenID Connect implementation in Keycloak.
