<?php namespace cas;
 
use Illuminate\Auth\GenericUser;
use Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface;
use Illuminate\Auth\UserProviderInterface;
 
class CasAuthProvider implements UserProviderInterface
{
    /**
     * Retrieve a user by their unique identifier.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $id
     * @return \Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface|null
     */
    public function retrieveById($id)
    {
        return $this->casUser();
    }
 
    /**
     * Retrieve a user by the given credentials.
     *
     * @param  array  $credentials
     * @return \Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface|null
     */
    public function retrieveByCredentials(array $credentials)
    {
        return $this->casUser();
    }
 
    /**
     * Validate a user against the given credentials.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface  $user
     * @param  array  $credentials
     * @return bool
     */
    public function validateCredentials(UserInterface $user, array $credentials)
    {
        return true;
    }
 
    protected function casUser()
    {
        $cas_host = \Config::get('app.cas_host');
        $cas_context = \Config::get('app.cas_context');
        $cas_port = \Config::get('app.cas_port');
        \phpCAS::setDebug();
        \phpCAS::client(CAS_VERSION_2_0, $cas_host, $cas_port, $cas_context);
        \phpCAS::setNoCasServerValidation();
 
        if (\phpCAS::isAuthenticated())
        {
            $attributes = array(
                'id' => \phpCAS::getUser(),
                'name' => \phpCAS::getUser()
            );
            return new GenericUser($attributes);
        }
        else
        {
            \phpCAS::setServerURL(\Config::get('app.url'));
            \phpCAS::forceAuthentication();
        }
        return null;
    }
 
    /**
     * Needed by Laravel 4.1.26 and above
     */
    public function retrieveByToken($identifier, $token)
    {
        return new \Exception('not implemented');
    }
 
    /**
     * Needed by Laravel 4.1.26 and above
     */
    public function updateRememberToken(UserInterface $user, $token)
    {
        return new \Exception('not implemented');
    }
}
?>

Please make note that, you have to add  cas_host, cas_context, cas_port to app/config/app.php file

Step 3: Adding new provider to Laravel

Edit app/start/global.php file by adding code:

1
2
3
4
Auth::extend('cas', function($app)
{
    return new cas\CasAuthProvider;
});

Step 4: Adding phpCAS library, new provider to Laravel Autoload

Open composer.json located at Laravel Root Directory and add app/library/phpCAS, app/cas:

1

    "autoload": {
        "classmap": [
            "app/commands",
            "app/controllers",
            "app/models",
            "app/library",
            "app/library/phpCAS",
            "app/cas",
            "app/database/migrations",
            "app/database/seeds",
            "app/tests/TestCase.php"
        ]
    },

Dump new Laravel Autoload file:

1
php artisan dump-autoload

Step 5: Finally, create route and controller for login action

In app/routes.php file add:

1
2
Route::get('/login', array('as' => 'login', 'uses' => '[email protected]'));
Route::post('/login', array('as' => 'login', 'uses' => '[email protected]'));

In app/controllers/Admin.php add:

    function login()
    {
        $message_error = "";
        if(Auth::check())
            // Redirect to link after login
        else
        {
            if (Auth::attempt(array()))
            {
                // Redirect to link after login
            }
            // Redirect to un-logged in page
        }
    }
