At the moment we don't have a clean way to plug in other authentication subsystems other than basic authentication, but Camp2Camp did integrate CAS once as a replacement for it (changing GS from basic auth only to CAS only) and they documented their changes in the wiki: http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/GeoServer+Security+with+CAS Unfortunately that page is no more available since we switched to Sphinx as the documentation system, but there might still be a backup somewhere. Mike, cc'ed, helped in the switch, hopefully he knows how to get those contents back. In any case, be warned, it was a heavy set of modifications in a GeoServer file (a xml one though) Cheers Andrea > Garey Mills > Library Systems Office > UC Berkeley > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, > user administration capabilities and model configuration.
