I am using Tomcat5.5 CAS3.3.3
I get no exceptions in syslog if I remove cas and restart. 

Please help. 
Thanks,
Sri.

Subject: Re: [cas-user] SSO credential caching and Oracle External Apps

Thanks for your help everyone!

I suppose I'm looking for a generic way of front-ending applications that don't 
directly support CAS (and that I can't make changes to). I think ClearPass will 
be a great way of doing this. I don't need to make changes to CAS directly, 
I'll just write an app that grabs the attributes using the CAS client and 
passes the credentials along.

I also really like the idea of being able to store credentials in memory - it 
provides a distinct security advantage to Oracle's method of caching this 
information to a database.

Thanks again,
John
