I never used CAS, we can probably have a better description

@nacorp your suggestions are welcomed

I'm on it. The description provided by alamirault is ok. I want to test the documentation he wrote on a real project but I miss some time at the moment.

I'm so sorry for being that late - it sound great for me ! (thanks @alamirault !)


Configure the Cas2Handler
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Symfony provides a generic ``Cas2Handler`` to call your CAS server. It requires
the ``symfony/http-client`` package to make the needed HTTP requests. If you
haven't installed it yet, run this command:

.. code-block:: terminal

$ composer require symfony/http-client

You can configure a ``cas`` ``token_handler``:

.. configuration-block::

.. code-block:: yaml

# config/packages/security.yaml
security:
firewalls:
main:
access_token:
token_handler:
cas:
validation_url: https://www.example.com/cas/validate

.. code-block:: xml

<!-- config/packages/security.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<srv:container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/security"
xmlns:srv="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
https://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd
http://symfony.com/schema/dic/security
https://symfony.com/schema/dic/security/security-1.0.xsd">

<config>
<firewall name="main">
<access-token>
<token-handler>
<cas validation-url="https://www.example.com/cas/validate"/>
</token-handler>
</access-token>
</firewall>
</config>
</srv:container>

.. code-block:: php

// config/packages/security.php
use Symfony\Config\SecurityConfig;

return static function (SecurityConfig $security) {
$security->firewall('main')
->accessToken()
->tokenHandler()
->cas()
->validationUrl('https://www.example.com/cas/validate')
;
};

The ``cas`` token handler automatically creates an HTTP client to call
the specified ``validation_url``. If you prefer using your own client, you can
specify the service name via the ``http_client`` option:

.. configuration-block::

.. code-block:: yaml

# config/packages/security.yaml
security:
firewalls:
main:
access_token:
token_handler:
cas:
validation_url: https://www.example.com/cas/validate
http_client: cas.client

.. code-block:: xml

<!-- config/packages/security.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<srv:container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/security"
xmlns:srv="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
https://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd
http://symfony.com/schema/dic/security
https://symfony.com/schema/dic/security/security-1.0.xsd">

<config>
<firewall name="main">
<access-token>
<token-handler>
<cas validation-url="https://www.example.com/cas/validate" http-client="cas.client"/>
</token-handler>
</access-token>
</firewall>
</config>
</srv:container>

.. code-block:: php

// config/packages/security.php
use Symfony\Config\SecurityConfig;

return static function (SecurityConfig $security) {
$security->firewall('main')
->accessToken()
->tokenHandler()
->cas()
->validationUrl('https://www.example.com/cas/validate')
->httpClient('cas.client')
;
};

By default the token handler will read the validation URL XML response with
``cas`` prefix but you can configure another prefix:

.. configuration-block::

.. code-block:: yaml

# config/packages/security.yaml
security:
firewalls:
main:
access_token:
token_handler:
cas:
validation_url: https://www.example.com/cas/validate
prefix: cas-example

.. code-block:: xml

<!-- config/packages/security.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<srv:container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/security"
xmlns:srv="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
https://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd
http://symfony.com/schema/dic/security
https://symfony.com/schema/dic/security/security-1.0.xsd">

<config>
<firewall name="main">
<access-token>
<token-handler>
<cas validation-url="https://www.example.com/cas/validate" prefix="cas-example"/>
</token-handler>
</access-token>
</firewall>
</config>
</srv:container>

.. code-block:: php

// config/packages/security.php
use Symfony\Config\SecurityConfig;

return static function (SecurityConfig $security) {
$security->firewall('main')
->accessToken()
->tokenHandler()
->cas()
->validationUrl('https://www.example.com/cas/validate')
->prefix('cas-example')
;
};
