Bill had this to say in response to a recent comment I made about poor
support for CAS on IIS now and for the foreseeable future, even in
light of the .NET CAS client under development:

I'm hopeful we can meet that goal, but it may be further out than I
had initially imagined.  Support for managed code ISAPI modules on
IIS7 requires running in "Integrated Mode,"
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/244/how-to-take-advantage-of-the-iis7-integrated-pipeline/,
where all requests pass through the ASP.NET ISAPI filter.  I did just
enough reading on the subject to form an opinion that the integration
is not as first-class as it could be.  What reading I did do was
prompted by comments and claims Cathy made while researching and
developing the .NET CAS client.  I hope she'll speak up and provide
her first-hand experience with the limitations of .NET authentication
modules in IIS.  It's entirely possible she may not share my concerns.
