I am just getting started with CAS, and I REALLY want to use it for all of our organizations JSF applications, and I am able to get through the basic examples without any issues and even setup everything up to pull information from our LDAP server. Here is my problem and I haven't been able to find too many example to assist me. We have two datastores of users (LDAP for teachers and students and a DB for parents), and with user id's that are not guaranteed to be unique between across data sources.
My question is how can I then get other attributes and roles for my users in this case. For example, we are a school district and I would like to be able to look up the user's teacher number (if the user is a teacher; pulled from a JDBC source), but to reliably get this information, I would need to know the datasource as well as the user id to get this information, to be able to uniquely identify the user. It seems like the response for CAS abstracts out this information, is this correct. Is what I am trying to do even possible? If not, what solutions do other sites use? I am new to CAS and Spring so please be gentle :) Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
