[gatein-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (GTNPORTAL-1046) GateIn and secure CAS integration: problem with renew parameter

GateIn and secure CAS integration: problem with renew parameter --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: GTNPORTAL-1046 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/GTNPORTAL-1046 Project: GateIn Portal Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 3.0.0-GA Environment: GateIn+JBoss AS (localhost:8080) integrated with secure CAS, Tomcat+CAS with secure connector enabled (https://localhost:9443), Sun JDK 1.6 Reporter: Marek Posolda I tested GateIn integration with secure CAS (because CASTGC sso cookie is by default enabled only in secure environment). So GateIn is on localhost:8080 and Tomcat with CAS is on https://localhost:9443. I tried this scenario: 1) Go to http://localhost::8080/portal/private/classic and beeing redirected to CAS page 2) Login in CAS page as root 3) I am redirected to GateIn and I am successfully authenticated as user root 4) Wait 2 minutes for session expiration (I am testing with HTTP session expiration timeout 1 minute) 5) Going again to http://localhost::8080/portal/private/classic 6) I am redirected to blank screen now. And exception in server log with this message: "Ticket failed validation specification. Possible errors could include attempting to validate a Proxy Ticket via a Service Ticket validator, or not complying with the renew true request." I am attaching full exception stacktrace (cas-renew-exception.txt). I founded that problem can occur if "renew=true" parameter is not used in login URL but is used in validation URL. It should be used in both URLs (login and validation) or in none of them. Some links: http://tp.its.yale.edu/pipermail/cas/2005-October/001707.html http://n4.nabble.com/Problem-in-Cas-renew-parameter-set-to-true-td261396.... So I tried two things: 1) Use renew in both login and validation URL. So I changed login.jsp to "https://localhost:9443/cas/login?service=http://localhost:8080/portal/private/classic&renew=true". This helps to avoid the issue but I am redirected to CAS screen after session expiration in GateIn 2) Avoid renew in both login and validation URL. Now it's hardcoded in org.gatein.sso.agent.cas.CASAgent.validateTicket so I uncomment the line setRenew(true) to avoid renew in validation URL. This also helps and now I am not redirected to CAS screen after session expiration. Because CAS grant me new valid ticket for new GateIn session. So conclusion: I think that renew should be used in both places or nowhere. Is it possible to make it configurable and avoid hardcoded setRenew(true) in CASAgent class? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
