I'm trying to write a Java class to deal with custom authentication for Cascade 6.7.2, but I'm not sure how the redirect() method works. I understand that I need to return true if I want a redirection to occur, but I'm not clear on how to specify where to redirect to or how to set the status code. Do I simply call the setStatus() method to choose the status code and call setHeader() to set the HTTP Location header?

   Hi Joel,

   You'll want to use the sendRedirect(String url) method on the response object, that is passed as a parameter to redirect(), to do the actual redirect.

   So your code would look something like this:

   public boolean redirect(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, AuthenticationPhase phase) throws IOException
   {
       if (phase == AuthenticationPhase.LOGIN)
       {
           response.sendRedirect("http://mycustomauthapp.com/login");
           return true;
       }
   }
