Hopefully this isn't too dumb a question; I haven't been able to find a 
definitive answer anywhere.

Right now we're using CAS 3.5.x (we're waiting for summer and 4.3.x with 
MFA) as our primary authentication/single sign-on. We also have Shibboleth 
2.4.x for those few services that don't support CAS; it's configured with 
shib-cas-authn2 to redirect to CAS to perform the authentication, which 
makes everything transparent to the users. All in all, this has been 
working really well.

Is the improved SAML support in CAS 4.x going to let us achieve the same 
end result of users only having to authenticate once and then be able to 
access both CAS-based and SAML-based services? In other words, is the 
intention that we'll be able to get rid of Shibboleth, since we're not 
using it for anything special, and just do it all with CAS 4.x?

As a follow-up, is the improved SAML support and CAS/SAML interaction 
documented yet? The only stuff I can find on the web site appears to be the 
same "we support SAML1 and SAML2 only as much as Google Apps needs" stuff 
that's been there since forever. Should I be looking somewhere else?

Thanks,
