Authentication Chain CAS + Local User

togum

I've configured so that my Alfresco can integrated with CAS Jasig.
I'm successfull login via CAS redirect to alfresco page.

Fyi: CAS configured connect to Active Directory

This is my alfresco-global.properties CAS configuration:

#CAS
authentication.chain=cas:external,ldap1:ldap
‍‍‍‍

But now, I want local users can be successfull login via CAS. Is it impossible with CAS?
So user of Active Directory and local user of Alfresco can be successfull login via CAS.

Thanks in advanced.

Since your authentication process is performed by CAS you need to change your Authentication Handler to check the user first on ActiveDirectory and after on Alfresco repository (ie: via web services or rest API)

Thank you andrepra

Can you advise me to change my Authentication Handler?
I'm sorry, I really don't understand about it yet.

Hi togumm,
did you integrate CAS with Alfresco 3.2 or a newer version?

I'm tryng to use CAS with Alfresco 4, but I have some problems, can you help me?
I already did it with Alfresco 3.2, but I can't with Alfresco 4…

andrepra

Since 3.2 change the authentication architecture. You have to understand how authentication subsystem works and configure a chain that perform the authetication process.
I did the integration also with 3.4 and 4 but I built my own authentication subsystem, I'm not using the "external"

Hi andrepra,
in my configuration now I succefully authenticate the user in CAS, the I return in my filter class in Alfresco, but I can't authenticate the user in Alfresco.

I tried in some ways, but none worked… :x (https://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=45399).

Could you tell me how did you authenticate the user in Alfresco?

I tried something like that:

AuthenticationUtil.runAsSystem(new RunAsWork<Void>() {
   public Void doWork() throws Exception {
      WebApplicationContext wc = WebApplicationContextUtils.getRequiredWebApplicationContext(contextF);
      AuthenticationContext authenticationContext = (AuthenticationContext)authentication;
      
      GrantedAuthority[] gas = new GrantedAuthority[1];
        gas[0] = new GrantedAuthorityImpl("ROLE_AUTHENTICATED");
        UserDetails ud = new net.sf.acegisecurity.providers.dao.User(userName, "", true, true, true, true, gas);
      
      authenticationContext.setUserDetails(ud);
   }
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I reconstructed it from my various test, so there may be some errors…
