USAGE
======

+SETTINGS
+=========
+
+CAS_TICKET_EXPIRATION - minutes to tickets expiration. Default is 5 minutes.
+
+CAS_CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTES_CALLBACK - name of callback to provide dictionary with
+extended user attributes (may be used in CAS v.2 or above). Default is None.
+
+CAS_CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTES_FORMAT - name of custom attribute formatter callback will be
+used to format custom user attributes. This package provide module `attribute_formatters`
+with formatters for common used formats. Available formats styles are `RubyCAS`, `Jasig`

+
+PROVIDED VIEWS
+=============
+
+login
+---------
+
+It has not required arguments.
+
+Optional arguments:
+
+* template_name - login form template name (default is 'cas/login.html')
+* success_redirect - redirect after successful login if service GET argument is not provided
+ (default is settings.LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL)
+* warn_template_name - warning page template name to allow login user to service if he
+ already authenticated in SSO (default is 'cas/warn.html')
+
+If request.GET has 'warn' argument and user has already authenticated in SSO it shows
+warning message instead of generate Service Ticket and redirect.
+
+logout
+-----------
+
+This destroys a client's single sign-on CAS session. The ticket-granting cookie is destroyed,
+and subsequent requests to login view will not obtain service tickets until the user again
+presents primary credentials (and thereby establishes a new single sign-on session).
+
+It has not required arguments.
+
+Optional arguments:
+
+* template_name - template name for page with successful logout message (default is 'cas/logout.html')
+
+validate
+-------------
+
+It checks the validity of a service ticket. It is part of the CAS 1.0 protocol and thus does
+not handle proxy authentication.
+
+It has not arguments.
+
+service_validate
+-------------------------
+
+It checks the validity of a service ticket and returns an XML-fragment response via CAS 2.0 protocol.
+Work with proxy is not supported yet.
+
+It has not arguments.
+
+
+CUSTOM USER ATTRIBUTES FORMAT
+===========================
+
+Custom attribute format style may be changed in project settings with
+CAS_CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTES_FORMAT constant. You can provide your own formatter callback
+or specify existing in this package in `attribute_formatters` module.
+
+Attribute formatter callback takes two arguments:
+
+* `auth_success` - `cas:authenticationSuccess` node. It is `lxml.etree.SubElement`instance;
+* `attrs` - dictionary with user attributes received from callback specified in
+ CAS_CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTES_CALLBACK in project settings.
+
- * Name-Value style (provided in `cas_provider.attribute_formatters.name_value`):
++Example of generated XML below::
+
+ <cas:serviceResponse xmlns:cas='http://www.yale.edu/tp/cas'>
+ <cas:authenticationSuccess>
+ <cas:user>jsmith</cas:user>
+
+ <!-- extended user attributes wiil be here -->
+
+ <cas:proxyGrantingTicket>PGTIOU-84678-8a9d2sfa23casd</cas:proxyGrantingTicket>
+ </cas:authenticationSuccess>
+ </cas:serviceResponse>
+
+
- * Jasig Style attributes (provided in `cas_provider.attribute_formatters.jasig`):
