Scott,

This seems fairly relevant to the problem I'm having.  I'm resurrecting a
posting from Oct of this year that was asked on the list (
http://tp.its.yale.edu/pipermail/cas/2007-October/006408.html ).

Can you dumb it down for us cas newbies?  I've got my CAS server (3.1.1rc2 I
think) deployed.  How can it validate tickets coming from applications that
the user is using in the old service?  E.g. A person has logged into uportal
behind a cas 2 server, and I would like the links that are behind the cas 3
server (on another domain) just to continue as if the user has already been
validated.

The tickets are not passed to me - there exists a cookie for the old domain
as CASTGC - do I have to relax security on that cas implementation (and if
so....where?) so that it makes the cookie available to my new cas server?

Or, do proxy tickets come into play here?

Regards,

Chris
