Robert, We looked at going 100% SAML2 about a year ago, and Banner was the single sticking point for us. At this time, we are still using CAS 5, and the CAS protocol for Banner 9. It's good to know that there may be complications with CAS 6.
While we were trying to make Banner work with SAML2 (both via CAS 5, and via Okta), I found a pretty helpful guide on eCommunities, attached in this thread as a PDF: https://ecommunities.ellucian.com/message/190536#190536 My recollection of the experience is, like you say, Ellucian's documentation is not great, and the support for SAML seems to be an afterthought. Most SPs are pretty easy to setup, but not Banner 9. We got the self service apps working alright, but the Admin pages workaround, along with the excessive effort required to maintain the metadata after each application release, just proved to be too much for our small shop. I believe one or two people in this thread went live with SAML2 and Banner 9: https://ecommunities.ellucian.com/message/194959#194959 Matt On Monday, February 25, 2019 at 3:16:42 PM UTC-7, Robert Bond wrote: > > I have encountered issues with banner 9 using the cas protocol on cas > version 6.0.0 and greater. see: > https://groups.google.com/a/apereo.org/forum/#!searchin/cas-user/banner$209|sort:date/cas-user/5B_wPaG7oXA/b2IzHaw3BAAJ > > I am going to try setting up some of the banner 9 app using the SAML > protocol to avoid those issues.
