Thank you for the reply Don, I understand what you're saying. I have to do a hack. Or may be I don't have, and people could point me to the right direction.
Here is situation. There are two enterprises (for the lack of better word) in picture. Enterprise A and Enterprise B. I'm part of Ent A. We have our own CAS installation and our own 5 web applications that authenticate against CAS. So far so good. Ent B has a web application that we want to expose to users of Ent A. Both enterprises have their own separate storage of user information. I will simplify from this point on. On "A" side a user entity has a property "bID". Which logically maps a user from "A" to a user from "B". When a user from "B" wants to use "A" applications they would click on a link: http://example_a.com/blah/8374 Where 8374 is "bID" and we can map 8374 to a user on "A" side. The question is, how to communicate this to CAS. Or may be this is a bad approach but we don't know any better so far. Users from Enterprise B want a seamless log-in to Enterprise A apps. The only connection between two enterprises is this "bID" value.
