Depending on your infrastructure both is possible, whereas CAS does not need much space. It's probably more a question of CPU and memory, but depending on what else is running on the same server, this should also be no problem. > > > > We have approximately 17,000 user records in our library database - how > should we determine the what size the server should be? As Carl was pointing out it depends, but from our experience this nubmer of records should be no problem. Once a valid session has been established, CAS won't be accessed anymore for this particular session, except when a user might be doing a single-signout > > > Does setting-up a CAS server require any specific software and if so are > these freely available and straightforward to configure? I would recommend to use Apache Tomcat running the CAS webapp, which has no licensing costs. Installing Tomcat and the CAS webapp is straightforward, but the custom configuration can take some time. Depending on your identity management backend and your corresponding authentication infrastructure, there is probably some customization necessary as well. > > > > Can someone recommend any specialist companies who specialise in CAS > integration?
