Hi,

I've completely new to LDAP and CAS, but is it possible to authenticate users 
based on both the username and password combination?

My problem is this.  I have multiple applications and would like them to single 
sign on and have a single place to manage user identity.  Unfortunately these 
all have their own authentication system which has resulted in some different 
people registering on the sites using the same username.  Fortunately, these 
have different passwords so they could possibly be identified based on their 
username/password combination?  I'm open to suggestions on this since this 
seems a bit wiggy.

The way I'm thinking it would work could be if CAS would query the LDAP 
directory based on a username/password combo and return something globally 
unique as the uid.  This uid could then be mapped to a specific user in the 
application in question.

How do you think this would be best handled?

Thanks,

David
