Dear CAS users, I'm currently investigating authentication option for a project that requires services to access other services on behalf of a user (aka "proxy" in CAS terminology), without direct contact between the user and the "target". I have looked at various authentication options (oauth, openid, http auth, ...), but only CAS seems to offer this functionality. Am I missing something here? Is this kind of functionality so unique that none of the other protocols support it? This looks like a common usage scenario to me.
CAS looks like a good option for my project, but I want to make sure that I'm not missing viable alternatives. I hope someone with a better overview of the field can give me some insight here.
