INTRODUCTION

casa_identoken is the Identity Token Provider plug-in for tokens of type
CasaIdentityToken. This are the default identity tokens utilized by CASA
Authentication.

CONFIGURATION

The path to the casa_identoken plug-in is configured by placing the file
CasaIdentityToken.conf in the /etc/opt/CASA/authtoken.d/modules.d folder.

PROGRAMMING NOTES

This module does not provide APIs to components outside of the CASA
Authentication framework.

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

CasaIdentityTokens are embedded inside CASA Authentication Tokens. CasaIdentityTokens
contain identity information which may be confidential and no attempts are made to
ensure the confidentiality of the data. Because of this it is important that CASA
Authentication Tokens be secured by applications making use of them. It is recommended
that CASA authentication tokens be transmitted using SSL.
