Examples

Validating a ticket

var cas = require('byu-cas');

var ticket = doSomethingToGetTicket();
var service = 'http://example.com/signin';

cas.validate(ticket, service).then(function success(response) {
  console.log("Ticket valid! Hello, " + response.username);
  console.dir(response.attributes);
}).catch(function error(e) {
  console.log("Invalid ticket. Error message was: " + e.message);
});

Retrieving a CAS ticket

Note: this is removed in version 2.0.0 except when the environment variable INSECURE is set. @agrasley has a good explanation of the risks involved when using this function.

var cas = require('byu-cas');
var service = 'http://example.com/signin';

cas.getTicket('username', 'password', service)
.then(function(ticket){
  // do something with the ticket
});

Contributing

We're pretty lax, but

• New features must come with an appropriate test
• New features should have an example in README.md
• Pull requests will generally not be merged if they break tests
• Use two spaces per indent
