Hi,

It looks like SharePoint 2010 relies on WIF (Windows Identity Foundation) for 
claims-based Forms authentication.  It looks like this is a different 
authentication mechanism than the classic ASP.NET Forms Authentication 
mechanism in ASP.NET 1.0-4.0.  I don't think the .NET CAS Client supports WIF 
at this point, though it looks like it would be relatively straightforward to 
wire-up a CAS server as an identity provider in WIF.

Subject: Re: [cas-user] Sharepoint 2010 and CAS

I believe this integration is possible with the .NET CAS Client, 
https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASC/.Net+Cas+Client.  I was working with a 
colleague in another department to prototype the integration, and we had some 
success but my lack of knowledge of Sharepoint limited our progress and the 
effort fizzled.  Getting this working will require a Sharepoint expert who is 
very familiar with the XML configuration and can help navigate the complex 
interaction between ASP.NET Forms authentication, Sharepoint, and the complex 
Sharepoint authorization setup.  If you have that expertise, I'd be happy to 
collaborate with you on the integration.  I know it would be helpful for us 
here at Virginia Tech, as well as to the broader community.  I have a feeling 
that once we build it, so to speak, folks will come.
