Dear members of the CAS community, We would like to announce availability of a CAS extension that allows to proxy clear-text passwords to select services. These extensions were designed for Sacramento State and they are making it available to the rest of the community.
While enabling single sign-on through standard CAS protocols is certainly the preferred approach, some third-party applications can not be modified to accommodate such workflow, and require an actual password to be provided to them. The developed ClearPass extension provides a secure way to hand-off the clear-text password information to a limited set of CAS-enabled applications, so that the password can be utilized for authentication with a downstream legacy service. This allows, for instance, to enable single sign-on of uPortal users into a MS Exchange server that would not be able to process CAS proxy tickets. The implementation is described on the JA-SIG wiki (http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/x/BIDc), and the code is available in the JA-SIG SVN repository. thank you, -peter. _______________________________________________ Yale CAS mailing list [email protected] http://tp.its.yale.edu/mailman/listinfo/cas
