CAn u tell me...whats wrong with my phpcas client..Please help me.

Answer 1

This is the problem which generally comes with the development servers when we use no SSL::setNoCasServerValidation(); However even after using setNoCasServerValidation(), the CAS Client internally calls the curl using https, which is the main cause of this error.

So to fix it just go to CAS Library file ../CAS/CAS/Client.php Reach the function

private function _readURL($url, &$headers, &$body, &$err_msg){}

and add this line

$url = str_replace("https", "http", $url);

as the first line of function _readURL(...

Please don't do this in production environment as CAS recommends use of SSL on production.

Answer 2

Updating the certificate on the CAS server solved the problem for me.
