Hi Andrew,Thank you for your quick answer. I am kind of confused with the proxy
authenticationYou mentioned CAS 2 is for proxy authentication. In my CAS 2
configuration, I use Cas20ProxyReceivingTicketValidationFilter in my web.xml.
You confirm that I am in CAS 2 architecture. I want to know if I am using proxy
authentication when I use Cas20ProxyReceivingTicketValidationFilter in my
web.xml.Also, if I am not in a portal environment, how do you explain CAS 2
benefits in a normal situation. For example, I have one or more than one Tomcat
servers and several applications in each server.
How this differentiate CAS 1?Thanks, Alex

CAS 1: Basic authentication; user requests service directly and receives itCAS
2: Proxy authentication; service requests another service on behalf of user and
receives itAn example where this is useful: your company / organization has a
portal that everyone logs in. If you expect the portal to deliver your email
for you, then it is requesting your email on behalf of you. If the email
server is CAS protected, then this would never work, so the portal must request
your email on your behalf.I wouldn’t say proxy authentication is for a portal
environment; it is useful whenever you want build some manner of web service.On

Hi, Bother to bother all the experts. After I successfully configured both
CAS 1 and CAS 2, I am still kind of confused with the benefits by upgrading CAS
1 to CAS 2. It seems to me that there is no difference between CAS 1 and CAS 2
in the front end. Using CAS 1 or using CAS 2 configuration can produce the same
output. If so, why bother to upgrade to CAS 2?? It seems to me that by
distinguishing CAS 1 and CAS 2, it's just the configuration difference and use
most current version client, right?? It seems to me that CAS 1 is designed for
SSO and CAS 2 is designed for a portal environment, right? If you can tell me
more about what the advantages/benefits/differences are by upgrading CAS 1 to
CAS 2, I will be very appreciated it Thanks, Alex
