Interface CredentialsBinder

Deprecated.

Future versions of CAS will provide a mechanism to gain access to standard items from the Request object.

@Deprecated
public interface CredentialsBinder

Interface for a class that can bind items stored in the request to a particular credential implementation. This allows for binding beyond the basic JavaBean/Request parameter binding that is handled by Spring automatically. Implementations are free to pass part or all of the HttpServletRequest to the Credential.

Since:

3.0

This is a published and supported CAS Server 3 API.
