Jason On 7/1/09 3:36 PM, "Bryan Wooten" < [email protected] > wrote: I’ll try and explain. We have several IT organizations on campus and we are in the process of integrating into one department. So Dept A has implemented a portal (not PeopleSoft) and they have based authorization on CAS (Active Dir is the backend) for their custom applications. My department uses the PeopleSoft portal and our custom applications use a PeopleSoft token for authentication (Sun LDAP is our backend and we have custom Pcode and funclib). My dept uses a couple of homegrown methods (depending on when in the past 8 years the app was developed) to do this PeopleSoft Token validation, including a servlet filter. The 2 directories are kept in sync. Users from Dept A want to be able to get to our apps without logging in to our portal and vice versa. So one suggestion is to modify CAS server to accept peoplesoft tokens so users can seamlessly access Dept A’s applications after logging into our PeopleSoft Portal. That seems like a “bad idea” to me. Of course no one has mentioned modifying our apps to accept CAS tickets! My thought was to CASify PeopleSoft to use Dept A’s CAS server and then CASify our existing applications. Now CAS tickets are used exclusively throughout the departments. The next step in the grand plan is to implement Sun Access Manager (OpenSS0) in order to get * authorization* functionality (via Policy Agents). Currently all apps implement their own authorization methodology, another bad, hard to maintain thing. Since Access Manager can also be CASyifed everything should fall into place. I am open to other ideas and suggestions.

Why go to the trouble to CASify PeopleSoft and just use the native integration between those two PeopleSoft (Oracle) products? Dan Biondi Web Portal Coordinator Sacramento State v: 916-278-7616 From: Bryan Wooten [ mailto:[email protected] ] Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 11:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [cas-user] CASifying PeopleSoft I’ve been reading with great interest CASifying PeopleSoft. In going through the PowerPoint slides the implementation seems to rely on the uPortal as the initial user login to access PeopleSoft applications. I was wondering if the PeopleSoft Portal would “play well” with CASifyed PeopleSoft as described. I am of the belief that it will, but others think uPortal is a required component of the system.
