Thanks, I think I understand now. I am using the REST API ( http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASUM/RESTful+API) which exposes the TGTs. My particular use case doesn't allow a centralized login page. Rather, CAS is being used as a centralized authentication solution across a related set of public services where each needs control over the login presentation. From the user's perspective, these services are all from the same "vendor".
I've read "Using CAS without the CAS login screen" ( http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CAS/Using+CAS+without+the+CAS+login+screen) and I'm pretty sure I understand the tradeoffs here. Any other caveats I should be aware of? This will give me common login across services and if I need simultaneous login across services I will need a strategy to to manage the TGT/TGC data myself. Thanks very much for your help. -Jeremy Norris On Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 12:58 PM, Scott Battaglia <[email protected] > wrote: > The protocol documentation may call it a TGC (Ticket Granting Ticket or > Ticket Granting Cookie).
