The redirectAfterValidation parameter in CAS (Central Authentication Service) client configuration controls whether users are automatically redirected to the original requested service URL after successful ticket validation. Here’s a detailed explanation based on the search results:
Purpose and Function

When a client application receives a Service Ticket (ST) from CAS Server, it must validate this ticket with the CAS Server’s /serviceValidate endpoint.

If redirectAfterValidation is set to true (default behavior), the CAS Client automatically redirects the user back to the originally requested service URL after validation succeeds.

If set to false, the CAS Client stops processing after validation and returns control to the application. The application must then manually handle redirection or session management.
Default Behavior vs. Custom Handling

Default (true):

Simplifies integration by handling redirection automatically.

Example: After validating a ticket, the user is seamlessly redirected to https://app.example.com/dashboard.

Disabled (false):

Required for applications needing to perform additional logic post-validation (e.g., storing user data in session, triggering frontend actions).

Common in frontend-backend separated architectures (e.g., Vue.js + Spring Boot). The backend validates the ticket and returns data (e.g., user info) to the frontend, which then handles navigation.
Configuration Examples

Spring Boot CAS Client (Java):

 In application.properties:
      cas.validation-type=cas3
 cas.use-session=true
 cas.redirect-after-validation=false  # Disable auto-redirect
 
 This requires the backend to send a response (e.g., JSON) to the frontend for further handling.

Vue.js Integration:

 After ticket validation, the backend may return:
 "authenticated": true, "user": "alice" }

 
 The Vue frontend then uses this data to redirect via router.push('/home').

Use Cases for Disabling Auto-Redirect

SPA (Single-Page Applications): Avoid full-page reloads; let the frontend manage routing.

Custom Session Logic: Inject user roles or permissions into the session before redirection.

Security Controls: Add secondary authentication checks post-validation.
Impact on CAS Flow

When enabled, the flow is simplified:

 CAS Client → CAS Server (validation) → Redirect to Service URL.

When disabled:

 CAS Client → CAS Server (validation) → Application Logic → Manual Redirect/Response.

Summary Table
Setting Behavior Use Case

redirectAfterValidation=true Auto-redirect post-validation Traditional web apps
redirectAfterValidation=false Manual handling post-validation SPAs, APIs, custom session logic
