Really stupid question about IdP v3 CAS support

Depending on what client is being used (and thus what configuration options are presented), they will usually either ask for URLs for the login and validation endpoints or they will request a base URL (some clients refer to this as a “prefix”) from which the two are inferred.

The base URL is: https://$HOST/idp/profile/cas/

Thus, the login URL is: https://$HOST/idp/profile/cas/login

The validation URL varies depending on what style of validation you are doing.

-WFH

All they will ask is the location of your CAS server. I think even the paths/locations of the CAS ticket validation and request endpoints are hardwired in the protocol (SAML's are not, we never even considered that would fly, shows what making crazy assumptions can buy you).
