Getting more attributes from CAS than just user id

Question

I am using CAS with JDBC Authentication handler and was wondering is it possible to get the other attributes of principal object (for e.g. firstname, lastname) not just the username from CAS after successful authentication?

Answer 1

In the casServiceValidationSuccess.jsp, I add like below:

<cas:attributes>

    <c:forEach var="attr" items="${assertion.chainedAuthentications[fn:length(assertion.chainedAuthentications)-1].principal.attributes}">
         **<cas:${fn:escapeXml(attr.key)}>${fn:escapeXml(attr.value)}</cas:${fn:escapeXml(attr.key)}>**
    </c:forEach>

</cas:attributes>

In the deployerConfigContent.xml, I add like below:

<bean class="org.jasig.cas.authentication.principal.UsernamePasswordCredentialsToPrincipalResolver" >

    **<property name="attributeRepository">
     <ref bean="attributeRepository" />
    </property>**

</bean>

<bean id="attributeRepository" class="org.jasig.services.persondir.support.jdbc.SingleRowJdbcPersonAttributeDao">

    <constructor-arg index="0" ref="dataSource"/>
    <constructor-arg index="1" value="select * from bbs_members where {0}" />
    <property name="queryAttributeMapping">
       <map>
          <entry key="username" value="username" />
       </map>
    </property>

    <property name="resultAttributeMapping">
        <map>
            <entry key="uid" value="uid"/>
            <entry key="email" value="email"/>
            <entry key="password" value="password"/>
        </map>
    </property>
</bean>

It works.
I came across this problem during the debug, please close the browser if you change this JSP or XML files, otherwise the changes won't work. Be careful.
