Scott, Thanks for the reply. The thing is we do need this site to be crawled by search engines, but as it stands they are unable to. Is this an issue with all CAS enabled sites?

We have a CAS implemtated across a couple of websites. When you access one of these sites, a cookie is set, then you're redirected (HTTP 302) to the CAS server then redirected back to the site. Although this is invisible to a user it causes problems with search engines. As they don't accept cookies they get stuck in a loop or redirects. If you have protected pages that you don't want crawled, why don't you use a robots.txt file to make sure the search engine doesn't attempt to crawl them? -Scott My question is, is this problem an issue with CAS? or the php CAS library we have used? or with how it has been implemented? Many thanks for your help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Mat Evans theWorkshop 28 Kenwood Park Road Sheffield S7 1NF Tel: +44 (0)114 255 8222 http://www.theworkshop.co.uk/ Think like a tree.
