Hello,

after doing some more research i got one more question about the CAS
implementation.

Why CAS is not used for federated authentication? I know CAS does not
have something like a discovery service - but (theoretically) if I
implement a DS on my own and use this to forward to different
CAS-Servers, wouldn't that make CAS suitable for this use case too?

-----------------
What does the Discovery Service do?

In Shibboleth version 1.3, the discovery service takes an AuthnRequest
message as input and, as a result of interaction with the user, forwards
this message on to the selected IdP.
(https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/DiscoveryService)
-----------------

I am trying to understand why so many people prefer SAML over CAS. I
don't see (m)any advantages, except better support for authz ( bound
directly in apache ) and better support for custom attributes.

Thanks in advance.
