Isaac,

I will check this out! Haven't looked at Shibolleth yet, but it is on the radar as well...

Johan,

As the person who started the original thread you linked to, here is how we resolved the issue. For the sake of setting up the demo, I found the simplest solution was to use simplesamlphp (http://rnd.feide.no/simplesamlphp) as an intermediary to handle the SAML between CAS and Google Apps. For someone familiar with PHP, I found it relatively easy to configure simplesaml to use CAS for authentication, and then connect to Google.

Currently we have replaced simplesaml with Shibboleth to handle the SAML. Shibboleth is not nearly as easy as simplesaml to configure, but once we had it up and running it was pretty easy to swap between the two.

All,

We are implementing a demo CAS environment, to see how it would work serving as an SSO platform for our web apps. We are traditionally a Asp/Asp.net windows environment, with additional experience in unix/linux with php and perl, but learning java (hopefully) as we go...

So far, we have a basic setup working, talking to MS Active Directory as the account store, using the Fastbind example in the wiki ([ http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASUM/Active+Directory ]http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASUM/Active+Directory). We have a drupal install authenticating to it as quick test app that talks CAS.

Now, we are trying to get this working with GoogleApps, and we have created a test domain at GApps for that. Integration works, but is using the username of the object (sAMAccountName attribute in AD terms)

What we will need is to use the email address, as stored in the "mail" attribute. Digging around the maillist archives, it looks like this is possible ([ http://www.nabble.com/Adding-data-to-SAML-response-(was-Passing-Google-apps-alternate-username)-to19446161.html#a19446161 ] http://www.nabble.com/Adding-data-to-SAML-response-(was-Passing-Google-apps-alternate-username)-to19446161.html#a19446161).

Looking at CAS3.3.1 source,  in
cas-server-core/src/main/java/org/jasig/cas/authentication/principal/GoogleAccountsService.java
we see in line 163/164

samlResponse = samlResponse.replace("<USERNAME_STRING>", getPrincipal()
           .getId());

This seems to be the code that assigns the username to the SAML response, but we have no idea how to go from here :-( (ie how to get it to read the mail attribute and assign it here.)

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

For completeness, this is runnin on CentOS5.2, Tomcat 6.0.18, CAS-Server 3.3.1

Thanks in advance!
