I wanted to offer a heads up about CAS-ldaptive [1] integration work that I'm pursuing:
https://github.com/serac/cas-server-integration-ldaptive This is still a work in progress, but we will begin testing shortly and provided testing goes well we will eventually switch to this library for LDAP integration for our CAS deployment at Virginia Tech. A few notable benefits: - First-class support for advanced LDAP features (e.g. esoteric controls including ppolicy, all auth mechanisms) - Robust pooling and error handling - Pluggable LDAP provider mechanism (JNDI, UnboundID, Apache to name a few) It's worth noting that Shibboleth and Grouper use ldaptive (or its ancestor, vt-ldap) for LDAP integration. It's my intention to offer this module as a replacement for cas-server-support-ldap at some future date. I'll provide a full list of benefits and some performance analysis at that time.
