org.kuali.rice.ksb.security.credentials
Class CasProxyTicketCredentialsSource

java.lang.Object
  org.kuali.rice.ksb.security.credentials.CasProxyTicketCredentialsSource

All Implemented Interfaces:

CredentialsSource

public final class CasProxyTicketCredentialsSource
extends java.lang.Object
implements CredentialsSource

Retrieves a proxy ticket for the user based on their provided Proxy Granting Ticket. This assumes that the Proxy GrantingTicket is available from a ThreadLocal and that the service is protected by Acegi.

Note: this class can be used for user-to-service authentication.

This assumes the services are stateless and will not maintain an HttpSession so each call for credentials will result in a new Proxy Ticket being granted.

Since:

0.9
