CAS 4 with Spring Security 4 (java config) - stuck in a redirect loop after ticket granted SSO

I have been stuck on this issue for about a couple of days now. I have a CAS 4 app and a Spring-enabled (MVC and Security) web application running on a Tomcat 8. I am trying to authenticate against the CAS server. All the setup works perfectly fine, but once i seem to be authenticated (given the ticket) and trying to redirect i am getting This webpage has a redirect loop,ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS. I am using the default in-memory authentication from CAS 4 (user: casuser, pass: Mellon)

I have tried:

1) Used a different prefix for the casAuthenticationFilter context path (/test/j_spring_cas_security_check) and a matching one in the serviceProperties (serviceProperties.setService("https://OFB25572D8.OKFB.COM:8443/phoenixWeb/test/j_spring_cas_security_check");)

  1. Redirect to my contextRoot from a custom SavedRequestAwareAuthenticationSuccessHandler and overriding

onAuthenticationSuccess(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Authentication authentication)

  1. Going to Spring MVC 3.2.8 and Spring Security 3.2.8 (someone had a similar issue and went to older versions of Spring)

Here is the setup (no web.xml, all is done using Java Config):

SecurityConfig.java

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity

public class PhoenixSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

     @Bean
    public ServiceProperties serviceProperties() {
        ServiceProperties serviceProperties = new ServiceProperties();
        serviceProperties.setService("https://OFB25572D8.OKFB.COM:8443/phoenixWeb/j_spring_cas_security_check");
        serviceProperties.setSendRenew(false);
        return serviceProperties;
    }

    @Bean
    public CasAuthenticationProvider casAuthenticationProvider() {
        CasAuthenticationProvider casAuthenticationProvider = new CasAuthenticationProvider();
        casAuthenticationProvider.setAuthenticationUserDetailsService(authenticationUserDetailsService());
        casAuthenticationProvider.setServiceProperties(serviceProperties());
        casAuthenticationProvider.setTicketValidator(cas20ServiceTicketValidator());
        casAuthenticationProvider.setKey("phoenixWeb_CAS_ID");
        return casAuthenticationProvider;
    }

    @Bean
    public AuthenticationUserDetailsService authenticationUserDetailsService() {
        return new TestCasAuthenticationUserDetailsService();
    }

    @Bean
    public Cas20ServiceTicketValidator cas20ServiceTicketValidator() {
        return new Cas20ServiceTicketValidator("https://OFB25572D8.OKFB.COM:8443/cas");
    }

    @Bean
    public CasAuthenticationFilter casAuthenticationFilter() throws Exception {
        CasAuthenticationFilter casAuthenticationFilter = new CasAuthenticationFilter();
        casAuthenticationFilter.setAuthenticationManager(authenticationManager());
        casAuthenticationFilter.setAuthenticationSuccessHandler(customSuccessHandler());
        casAuthenticationFilter.setFilterProcessesUrl("/j_spring_cas_security_check");
        return casAuthenticationFilter;
    }

    @Bean
    public SavedRequestAwareAuthenticationSuccessHandler customSuccessHandler() {
        return new CustomRequestHandler();
    }

    @Bean
    public CasAuthenticationEntryPoint casAuthenticationEntryPoint() {
        CasAuthenticationEntryPoint casAuthenticationEntryPoint = new CasAuthenticationEntryPoint();
        casAuthenticationEntryPoint.setLoginUrl("https://OFB25572D8.OKFB.COM:8443/cas/login");
        casAuthenticationEntryPoint.setServiceProperties(serviceProperties());
        return casAuthenticationEntryPoint;
    }

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {

         http
             .addFilter(casAuthenticationFilter());
         http
             .exceptionHandling()
                 .authenticationEntryPoint(casAuthenticationEntryPoint());

        http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/**").access("hasRole('ROLE_USER')");
            //.anyRequest().permitAll()
            //.and().csrf().csrfTokenRepository(csrfTokenRepository()).and();
            //.and().csrf().disable()
        //.formLogin()
        //.loginPage("/login")
        //.permitAll();
        //Below is forcing over HTTPS
        //.and().requiresChannel().anyRequest().requiresSecure();

    }

    @Override
    protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        auth
            .authenticationProvider(casAuthenticationProvider());
    }

}

TestCasAuthenticationUserDetailsService.java

public class TestCasAuthenticationUserDetailsService implements AuthenticationUserDetailsService {
    @Override
    public UserDetails loadUserDetails(Authentication token) throws UsernameNotFoundException {
        List<GrantedAuthority> authorities = new ArrayList<>();
        authorities.add(new SimpleGrantedAuthority("ROLE_USER"));
        return new User("casuser", "Mellon", authorities);
    }
}

I was finally able to find out why i was getting the Redirect Loop error. The problem was that when i made my initial request Spring had an empty string for the servletPath in the SAVED_REQUEST session attribute.

The initial URL was:

https://server:8443/contextPath

My Spring controller has a class-level, root mapping to "/". My security setting for the app is:

http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/**").access("hasRole('ROLE_USER')");

So, with that in mind, when i made the initial request the servletPath was an empty string "" (i extended the SavedRequestAwareAuthenticationSuccessHandler to observe the redirect after a successful login) and since nothing was mapped to that the casFilter was trying to re-authenticate the request over and over.

If i use a slash at the end of my URL, everything works perfect:

https://server:8443/contextPath/      //NOTE the slash in the end

So, for those having a similar issue, where all the config and setup looks and behaves right, but still get Redirect Loops check your RequestMappings and the URL you are trying to authenticate!
