Hi Markus,

CAS currently only supports SAML 1.1 and OpenID 1.0.  We're working on 
adding support for more protocols but it probably won't be done before the 
Summer of Code is over ;-)

If you're looking for a higher level Authentication/Authorization framework 
you may be interested in Spring Security (if XWiki uses Spring, though you 
can get it to work without the actual application being in Spring).  Spring 
Security supports CAS, OpenID, and many other methods of authentication and 
provides a complete authorization framework.

Check out http://www.acegisecurity.org (Acegi is its old name).  I'm not 
currently familiar with anything that supports both SAML 2 and OpenID2 (but 
they may be out there.).

Hope that helps.

Hello,

I'm a Google Summer of Code Student at XWiki (www.xwiki.org). My task is to
add integration with a higher level authentication/authorisation framework
to support SAML and OpenID authentication. So I'm currently evaluating
various frameworks. I got a suggestion to look at CAS and it seems to be
very interesting.
So my questions are:

 - Does CAS support OpenID 2.0 authentication (RP)
 - Can CAS act as a OpenID 2.0 identity provider (OP)
 - Does CAS support SAML 2.0 authentication (RP)
 - Can CAS act as a SAML 2.0 identity provider (OP)

I saw that CAS supports SAML and OpenID but I don't know which versions and
I couldn't find out which scenarios are supported (OP and/or RP?).


Best,
Markus
