NAME

Authen::CAS::External::Response - Response from CAS interaction.

VERSION

This documentation refers to version 0.08.

SYNOPSIS

  my $response = $cas_external->authenticate;

  if (!$response->is_success) {
    croak 'Authentication failed';
  }

  # Get a PHP Session cookie
  my %cookies = $response->get_cookies('PHPSESSID');
  my $PHP_SESSION_ID = $cookies{PHPSESSID};

  # Continue the request
  $response = $ua->get($response->destination);

DESCRIPTION

This module is rarely created by anything other than Authen::CAS::External::UserAgent. This is an object that is provided to make determining what the CAS response was easier.

ATTRIBUTES

destination

This contains a URI object that is the URL to the destination service after authentication. This means that by going to this URL, the client should be at the service fully authenticated. Use "has_destination" to determine if the response has a destination address.

  if ($response->has_destination) {
    my $service_page = $user_agent->get($response->destination);
  }

notification

Added in version 0.05; be sure to require this version for this feature.

This contains a string with a notification for the user from the CAS server. This is usually not set, but can be if the server uses something which tells the user their password is going to expire.

  if ($response->has_notification) {
    warn $response->notification;
  }

response

This contains a HTTP::Response object that is the response that occurred right before the user agent would have left the CAS site. This would be useful for custom parsing of the response. Use "has_response" to determine if the response has a response.

service

This contains a URI object that is the URL of the service. This would typically be the host and path part of the destination service. Use "has_service" to determine if the response has a service.

service_ticket

This is the service ticket that has been granted for the service. Use "has_service_ticket" to determine if the response has a service ticket.

This is the ticket granting cookie that has been given to the user agent to allow for re-authentication with the CAS service in the future without providing a username and password. Use "has_ticket_granting_cookie" to determine if the response has a ticket granting cookie.

METHODS

get_cookies

This method is for convenience purposes. Using this method, a HEAD request will be made to the destination URL and will return a hash of the cookie names and their values that would have been set.

get_cookies()

When no arguments are provided, returns a string of the cookies, using the as_string method of HTTP::Cookie.

get_cookies(@list_of_cookie_names)

When given a list of cookie names, a hash is returned with only those cookies where the cookie name is the key and the value is the value.

has_destination

Returns a Boolean of whether or not the response has an associated "destination".

has_notification

Added in version 0.05; be sure to require this version for this feature.

Returns a Boolean of whether or not the response has an associated "notification".

has_response

Returns a Boolean of whether or not the response has an associated "response".

has_service

Returns a Boolean of whether or not the response has an associated "service".

has_service_ticket

Returns a Boolean of whether or not the response has an associated "service_ticket".

Returns a Boolean of whether or not the response has an associated "ticket_granting_cookie".

is_success

Returns a Boolean of whether or not this response indicates a successful authentication.
