function(tgtStatus, tgtMsg){
    if(tgtStatus){
        st.validateST("https://cas.apiit.edu.my/cas", "http://localhost", tgtMsg,
            function(stStatus, stMessage){
                console.log(stStatus);

Function Explanation

The generateST() function takes the CAS URL, service URL, CAS Ticket Granting Tickets, as well as a callback function as input and calls the callback function with either the tuple (true, ST), where ST is the generated CAS Service Ticket, or (false, message) otherwise, with a message containing the response code from returned in the server response as the second value. This function does not check the validity of the supplied Ticket Granting Tickets before attempting to generate a Service Ticket. Check https://www.npmjs.com/package/cas-tgt-checker for a module that performs these checks.

The validateST() function takes the CAS URL, service URL, Service Ticket, and callback function as input and calls the callback function with either (bool, JSON), where bool reflects the validity of the supplied Service Ticket with either true or false, and JSON is the returned JSON response from the server. If bool is false for any reason, an error message is returned instead of the JSON response.
