My apologies if I've posted this query to the wrong list? If so,
can you point out a better forum for this type of question?

We have been using basic authentication for years to password
protect directories on an Apache server. Now our university has
implemented and deployed CAS and it has been working great.
We have also integrated mod_auth_cas on Apache and that works pretty
good also.
Next we would like to be able to store user authorization info like
username and group assignment in a MySQL database, so that we can
assign users and groups to certain Apache served directories.
Has anyone done this? Allow certain Apache served directories to be
password protected via CAS authentication and MySQL authorization?
I was thinking that perhaps a combination of Apache modules in a
certain order might work? For instance, mod_auth_cas followed by
mod_auth_mysql? That way if a directory is encountered that
contains a .htaccess file requiring an authenticated user, they
would be redirected to CAS. Once authenticated their username could
then be used by mod_auth_mysql to check for a match and then group
info derived from that successful match?
Any pointers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
