Hi list,
I would like to ask if anybody has integrated CAS (Central
Authentication Service - http://www.jasig.org/cas) with Jetspeed-2.
I don't have any experience with CAS but I have integrated similar
solutions such as Shibboleth.
Here is my problem situation:
CAS sits"in front" of an LDAP server of my university that I do not
have "write" permissions. The meta I use from ldap is the
credentials and some information of users' role in university (like
student, instructor e.t.c.). What I need to do is to login in
jetspeed portal from jetspeed login form and through CAS to validate
authentication for all services under jetspeed. However, as I cannot
store anything in ldap I need somehow to initialize an existing user
stored in ldap in jetspeed database. An idea is to do that on first
login by introducing some mapping rules (any help how to do that?).
Another problem which I cannot overcome using CAS java clients
filters is how to allow public access, as the filter will always
asks for authentication under /portal/.
We do have a LDAP replication solution in 2.2. What version of
Jetspeed are you using?
Any ideas, help more than welcome,
It would be a valuable contribution to have CAS support or at least
documentation in Jetspeed at some level.
