CAS Authentication

Introduction

Since version 1.4 Webistrano supports authenticating users through CAS. This allow Webistrano to integrate into single sign-on solutions following the CAS protocol. This feature is considered experimental for now.

Configuration

  • Login with an existing admin user (like the default admin/admin)
  • Create a new user with a login that matches their CAS login
  • Give that user a dummy password (it won’t be checked)
  • Stop Webistrano
  • Uncomment the CAS setting (see config/webistrano_config.rb.sample)
  • Start Webistrano

When accessing Webistrano, you should be sent to the CAS page, or you should be automatically logged in if you’ve signed in already.
