Hi everyone, These last few months I've been playing around with CAS as an SSO for my employer. It basically works like a charm. (any problems I had were largely due to the fact it had been a while since I'd seen any Java and the fact that I wasn't very familiar with Spring or even JSP).
All that said, at this point I have a working setup. But a simple working setup isn't enough, I want more. :p Given that I'm rather curious by nature I started looking for ways to improve or extend the basic setup. That basic setup consists of "authentication handlers" for an Active Directory, an LDAP-directory (non AD-based) and a MySQL-database. All of them have some attrubutes which should be passed on, so I also added some "credentials to principal resolvers". Right now we've linked several applications to CAS: Google Apps, the Dokeos LMS, student surveys, our educational portal (which wouldn't have been very usefull without CAS), a student tracking system, mailing lists, intranet, etc. Since the project is relatively new, the number of linked applications is no doubt going to get higher over time. At the very least everyone over here is very excited about it. (The flawless Google Apps integration in particular seemed to be something of a WOW-factor) A few days ago I happend to come upon an older message on this list which explained in some detail how to combine attributes from different via the "MergingPersonAttributeDaoImpl". After some trial and error (and tons of typos), again: works perfectly. After some more reading I found out that it shoud be possible to directly map AuthenticationHandlers to CredentialsToPrincipalResolvers. Obviously that'd be way more performant (not to mention safer data-consistency wise) then having to loop through the entire set of CredentialsToPrincipalResolvers all the time. Sadly enough I couldn't find any extra information at all on the subject and the wiki page dedicated to it is still empty. Could anyone give me a few pointers or tell me where to start looking?
