Get logged user attributes

[flparedes]

Dear all,

I'm developing a web app using Grails 3.1.9 and spring-security-cas 3.0.0. The problem is that when I try to login the username returned is "_casstateful" and I can't use this username to find the real user data.

My question is, how can I get the logged user attributes, so I can use the correct attribute to load de user.

Thanks in advance.

Is the user you are logging in as in the local database 'user' table?

Hello Neal,

I was using a CAS test server hosted in heroku, but because the problems with the logged users I've dowloaded a minimal CAS server and run it locally.

With this local CAS server I have no problem logging user, but I still don't know how to get the attributes. For example I've got another application made with Spark Java and after the CAS loggin I can get all the user attributes using a UserProfile object stored in the application context.

Does the grails-spring-security-cas have something similar to get the logged user attributes?

@flparedes is that getting user attributes what you are looking for ?

You could use springSecurityService.principal.username to get the logged username. For example if logged in the CAS server with admin, then springSecurityService.principal.username will be: admin. Or springSecurityService.principal.authorities to get user's roles.

class SecureController {

SpringSecurityService springSecurityService

    @Secured('ROLE_ADMIN')
    def admins() {
        log.info "Logged Username: {}", springSecurityService.principal.username

I hope this solves the issue. Please, reopen if the issue is still open.
