Hello Scott and others in the CAS community,

I just joined the CAS list a few minutes ago...

I have been working on CASifying the Kuali Enterprise Notification  
(KEN) services project I've been working on and eventually we hope to 
have the entire suite of Kuali projects CAS enabled.  Essentially,  I'm 
working on building a CasForKauli cas server such that no matter which 
service is being used the login form will have the Kuali branding and a 
simple client setup that all of the Kuali services can use.

So far,  I've managed to drop the cas.war server into an instance of 
Tomcat and wire in a java class client into the KEN quickstart we're 
developing.  I can hit the KEN webapp, authenticate via CAS, and see 
that I've been authenticated in my web app.   For development purpose 
I'm going to want to use the userstore that's built into the Kuali 
Enterprise Workflow project (it's integrated with KEN) rather than the 
default AuthenticationHandler and I'm mostly just a bit confused about 
the terminology.

In an message posted in Nov. 2006 Scott wrote:

   You can edit the deployerConfigContext.xml to reference your local
   AuthenticationHandler and then re-generate the WAR file (you can use "ant
   war" in the localPlugins directory).

   As for the value you should be replacing the Test Authenticationhandler
   with:  It depends on how you are retrieving the username/passwords from your
   data store.  We include handlers for database lookups, LDAP lookups, etc. or
   you can write a custom on.  Are you looking at using one of the pre-built
   ones?

I am a bit confused about the distinction between an impl of an 
AuthenticationHandler, and adapter, and a localPlugin.

I could easily write a KualiAuthenticationHandler and drop it into the 
org.jasig.cas.authentication.handler.support
package, but the above message implies that I should use the localPlugins 
directory, but it also appears that some
"adapters" have been written in yet another package.
