Hello, I have to install a CAS authentication module on a Apache reverse proxy. I have a small question about the differences between these two modules : - mod_auth_cas http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASC/mod_auth_cas - mod_cas http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASC/Yale+CAS+client+distribution Should I use the first or the second and why ?
