[Readme file inherited from CAS Client Beta 2.0.12 Beta 2, upon which this
CAS Client 2.1.0 builds.]

The Java client includes an API whose cornerstone is a JavaBean interface
for ticket validation.  This low-level API is wrapped in a JSP tag library
and a Servlet 2.3 filter.  To configure the filter, add elements like the
following to your web application:

  <filter>
    <filter-name>CAS Filter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>edu.yale.its.tp.cas.client.filter.CASFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>edu.yale.its.tp.cas.client.filter.loginUrl</param-name>
      <param-value>https://secure.its.yale.edu/cas/login</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>edu.yale.its.tp.cas.client.filter.validateUrl</param-name>
      <param-value>https://secure.its.yale.edu/cas/proxyValidate</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>edu.yale.its.tp.cas.client.filter.serverName</param-name>
      <param-value>portal1.wss.yale.edu:8888</param-value>
    </init-param>
  </filter>

  <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>CAS Filter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/casified/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>

The loginUrl and validateUrl parameters correspond to the CAS URLs used
for redirection and ticket validation, respectively.  The serverName
parameter lets you specify the name of the server (plus an optional port)
on which your service runs; this is more secure than determining the
server name automatically.  Alternatively, you may specify a serviceUrl
parameter, which contains a complete URL to the page in your service to
which you want CAS to return the user upon authentication.  (Otherwise,
the filter will instruct CAS to redirect the user to the page that the
user originally accessed.)

To use the CAS tag library, look at the included Tag Library Descriptor
(TLD).
