Customizing Spring CAS j_spring_cas_security_check URL

I'm using CAS 3.5.2 and Spring CAS extension. I'm trying to change j_spring_cas_security_check (and similar one for logout) URL to something like security_check. I read in Spring documentation that 

Back in the service web application, the CasAuthenticationFilter is always listening for
requests to /j_spring_cas_security_check (this is configurable, but we'll use the defaults   
in this introduction).

I thought this was just a dummy URL that can be changed by setting it as a value of the service property of org.springframework.security.cas.ServiceProperties bean in my Spring Security configuration, but after changing that my CAS SSO started breaking. I didn't see any exceptions on the client or server side.

Are there any obvious steps I'm missing while changing this default path?

Solution

  • I checked the code of CasAuthenticationFilter and found out that filterProcessesUrl needs to be set to the custom URL. The default is set in the constructor as /j_spring_cas_security_check.
