The Raven-related software described on this page is NOT supported or maintained by University Information Services. It is provided here in the hope that it may be useful, but it may contain bugs and security vulnerabilities. It may be supported and maintained by others. You should evaluate whether it meets you particular needs before using it.

This Java package includes everything necessary to write Java servlets that authenticate against Raven. It is released under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence version 2.

The Raven Servlet Library was written by Matthew Lavy and Alistair Turnbull, originally for CamCORS.

The Library is available as a github project

This library was lightly updated in June 2015 to support the Ucam WebAuth protocol V3 (and in paticular the ptags paramater in support of Raven-for-life), resulting in v1.0.3b.
