Sure. Suppose we have a user "Joe". Joe goes to www.myapplicationsonmanyservers.com and enters his login id and credentials, along with the application that Joe wants to work with. Once received, the server tries to authenticate Joe. If Joe authenticates, the authentication servers redirects Joe to the application (running on a machine that is identified based on joe's login id and requested application combination) and gives the browser the proper "Ticket" (I think) enabling him to establish a secure session with the application. I've been reading up a little more and I think I'm looking for the CAS integration. > I am not much clear about the idea of central authentication.Do you mean > a single authentication for a bunch of web applications? Yes - many applications running on many machines. > Then, the > redirection depends on what? The user id and, if provided, the application name. If the application name is not provided, then the server would just use a configured default.
