Yale CAS as an Acegi Client in SpringSide

First,  Set SpringSide's web.xml,  we use Acegi CAS Filter:

     < filter-mapping >
         < filter-name > hibernateFilter </ filter-name >
         < url-pattern > /j_acegi_cas_security_check </ url-pattern >
     </ filter-mapping >

We Should Set Main ACEGI application Context：
1) filterChainProxy should add a cas filter as Acegi's Sample, but here, we reuse
authenticationProcessingFilter, which we act as cas client filter.

     < bean  id ="filterChainProxy"
          class ="org.acegisecurity.util.FilterChainProxy" >
         < property  name ="filterInvocationDefinitionSource" >
             < value >
                CONVERT_URL_TO_LOWERCASE_BEFORE_COMPARISON
                PATTERN_TYPE_APACHE_ANT
                /**=httpSessionContextIntegrationFilter,anonymousProcessingFilter,authenticationProcessingFilter,rememberMeProcessingFilter,logoutFilter,channelProcessingFilter,basicProcessingFilter,securityContextHolderAwareRequestFilter,exceptionTranslationFilter,filterInvocationInterceptor
             </ value >
         </ property >
     </ bean >

2) authenticationProcessingFilter, of course, play the most important role in this
applicationContext_acegi.xml.
In SpringSide,  /admin  is protected resource, so defaultTargetUrl protected it
and all those request to the target url must be authenticated by authenticationManager.

     < bean  id ="authenticationProcessingFilter"  class ="org.acegisecurity.ui.cas.CasProcessingFilter" >
         < property  name ="authenticationManager"  ref ="authenticationManager" />
         < property  name ="authenticationFailureUrl" >
             < value > /security/login.jsp?login_error=1 </ value >
         </ property >
         < property  name ="defaultTargetUrl" >
             < value > /admin/ </ value >
         </ property >
         < property  name ="filterProcessesUrl" >
             < value > /j_acegi_cas_security_check </ value >
         </ property >
         < property  name ="rememberMeServices"  ref ="rememberMeServices" />
         < property  name ="exceptionMappings" >
             < value >
                org.acegisecurity.userdetails.UsernameNotFoundException=/security/login.jsp?login_error=user_not_found_error
                org.acegisecurity.BadCredentialsException=/security/login.jsp?login_error=user_psw_error
                org.acegisecurity.concurrent.ConcurrentLoginException=/security/login.jsp?login_error=too_many_user_error
             </ value >
         </ property >
     </ bean >

3) Then, we set all the needed beans in CAS Filter

     <!--  =========  Acegi as a CAS Client的配置=============  -->  
     < bean  id ="exceptionTranslationFilter"  class ="org.acegisecurity.ui.ExceptionTranslationFilter" >

                 </ property >
                 < property  name ="cacheName"  value ="userCache" />

         </ property >

     </ bean >

casProcessingFilterEntryPoint is very critical,
loginUrl is the CAS Server's /login url, you should set up your CAS Server(2.0 or 3.0) and config for
those JKS keystore after enable SSL in Tomcat(Tomcat 5.5/conf/server.xml) and place the cacerts that
have the CAS Server's public cert to Acegi Client's JDK/jre/lib/security/
Check serviceProperties to make sure that  SpringSide Service url is config as /j_acegi_cas_security_check

because Yale CAS use ticket cache for SSO impl, so we should config for statelessTicketCache
Just use springframework's ehcache for cacheManager.

SpringSide use jdbcDaoImpl which perform database authentication. So I am very happy to use it
as  casAuthoritiesPopulator , which will set use detail for the user. And these info are very useful for
application authorization.

     < bean  id ="jdbcDaoImpl"
          class ="org.acegisecurity.userdetails.jdbc.JdbcDaoImpl" >
         < property  name ="dataSource"  ref ="dataSource" />
         < property  name ="usersByUsernameQuery" >
             < value >
                select loginid,passwd,1 from ss_users where status='1' and loginid = ?
             </ value >
         </ property >
         < property  name ="authoritiesByUsernameQuery" >
             < value >
                select u.loginid,p.name from ss_users u,ss_roles r,ss_permissions
                p,ss_user_role ur,ss_role_permis rp where u.id=ur.user_id and
                r.id=ur.role_id and p.id=rp.permis_id and
                r.id=rp.role_id and p.status='1' and u.loginid=?
             </ value >
         </ property >
     </ bean >

There is little difference between casclient 2.0.12 and Acegi, right?

Note that in my env, gzug:8080/springside is bookstore webapp
and sourcesite:8443 is the CAS 3 Server.

Hope for suggestion.....
