Description

Migrated from PHPCAS-119

Description

An event-listener API could simplify the CAS client implementation by allowing modules to execute their own code at various points during the authentication sequence. In contrast, the phpCAS 1.x code has this sequence-dependent code injected into the various authentication functions.

This feature was first discussed and outlined in this comment on PHPCAS-100: https://issues.jasig.org/browse/PHPCAS-100?focusedCommentId=23404&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-23404

Research direction

Start by reading the migrated PHPCAS-119 description and the referenced PHPCAS-100 discussion. Trace the phpCAS 1.x authentication functions and their sequence-dependent code to understand the existing flow. Done means defining and implementing an event-listener API that lets modules execute code at documented points during authentication.
