David,
Thank you for replying, this is my project in co,llege and i have
to do it to earn my credit. The project is to build a generic API for SSO, I
have chosen OpenSSO and CAS to work with, do you have any better suggestion,
any other SSO that I could use. I am not getting any help, since this is one
of a kind project.
The motivation is, an enterprise has to change all the client web
application when they migrate from one SSO serevr to another, eg from CAS to
OpenSSO, by using the generic API they would just have to change the server
and thats it, it should work.
I had no idea about single sign on until I started the project, so
I if you know a better server to work with please suggest it,
thank you
Raghu

I haven't come across anything that does this. I do think, however that you
would need to consider what both products do collectively. Ask yourself
"what would OpenSSO add to CAS?" How would you use such an API? Who would
use such an API?
I've looked at the SSO spec at Oasis and OpenSSO seems to have captured that
need for compliance. CAS is based on a security protocol and seems to be
more process related where OpenSSO deals with programming needs to support
SSO communications. You also have to ask yourself is there a true need for
a combined API?
I don't know if I helped but I understand your motivation I think. When you
get into the detail of CAS and SSO you may find that everything is already
there to accomplish your tasks. I don't know if you are going to simplify
things with another API.
