Groovy Principal Id

Returns a username attribute value as the final result of a groovy script’s execution. Groovy scripts whether inlined or external will receive and have access to the following variable bindings:

• id: The existing identifier for the authenticated principal.
• attributes: A map of attributes currently resolved for the principal.
• service: The service object that is matched by the registered service definition.
• logger: A logger object, able to provide logger.info(...) operations, etc.

• Inline
• External

• Embed the groovy script directly inside the service configuration.

  {
    "@class" : "org.apereo.cas.services.CasRegisteredService",
    "serviceId" : "sample",
    "name" : "sample",
    "id" : 600,
    "description" : "sample",
    "usernameAttributeProvider" : {
      "@class" : "org.apereo.cas.services.GroovyRegisteredServiceUsernameProvider",
      "groovyScript" : "groovy { return attributes['uid'][0] + '123456789' }",
      "canonicalizationMode" : "UPPER"
    }
  }
  

  Note that the uid attribute in the above example is resolved internally as a multivalued attribute, as should all attributes when fetched by CAS. So the above example uses the [0] syntax to fetch the first value of the attribute.

• Reference the groovy script as an external resource outside the service configuration. The script must return a single String value.

  Sample Groovy script follows:

  logger.info("Choosing username attribute out of attributes $attributes")
  return "newPrincipalId"
  

  The configuration of this component qualifies to use the Spring Expression Language syntax.
