In brief Install webcalendar, change the login page so that it uses phpCas instead of the webcalendar login form, tell webcalendar to use user-cas.php to retrieve users from the database, fix the logout so that it calls the CAS server. Step by step get and install webcalendar (v. 1.0.2) get phpCas (v. 0.4.20-1) copy the CAS directory from phpCas inside the web calendar distribuition replace login.php with this one add the file user-cas.php in the includes directory make sure the includes/settings.php contains those settings: user_inc: user-cas.php cas_host: robcos.com //change to your cas server cas_port: 443 // HTTPS default port cas_context: cas // The J2EE context you deployed your cas server into edit includes/trailer.php : Add a logout=true parameter to the logout url: change the string $login_url = "login.php" $login_url = "login.php?return_path=$login_return_path"" to $login_url = "login.php?logout=true" $login_url = "log...

In brief Magnolia uses a filter to intercept those urls which are secured and used basic auth to authenticate a user. Once the authentication is done, magnolia uses the Authenticator class to read username and password from the http header and checks the credential with the one stored in the repository. Replacing this filter with a customized one using CAS to authenticate the user and replacing the Authenticator class with one which reads the credential from the HttpSession does the trick. The new Authenticator does not need to check the password in the repository since once the control reaches it, the CAS filter has already taken care of the authentication. The problem I like Magnolia, but its source is not well made for customization! It uses a lot of static methods which means that if you have to customize any part of it you need to phisically replace the class you want to customize.

I'm a big Mozart fan, I have always been! To celebrate his 250 birthday, yesterday night I went together with Lotta to the Stockholm Opera and whatched "Le nozze di Figaro". It was my first Mozart opera.

I was never satisfied with my G5. It was very noisy compared all the machines I have had lately. A couple of weeks ago the hard-disk started making horrible sound: I immediately made a backup and brought it to the nearest Mac support center. After 2 weeks queue, the technician calls me back and says: "Bad news: I had to order a new fan and a new power supply, I could not boot it anymore after the first try. Unfortunately the power supply will be available not before february 20th! If I were you I will try to get the whole unit replaced". Whauhu, very happy...NOT
