We are in the process of developing a solution for streaming copyrighted content to students at NAU. In short, we want FIMS to use CAS to determine a user's eligibility to view the content (e.g. students, faculty and staff associated with a given course for a given semester). Has anyone already done something like this, and if so would they be willing to share how it works.
Before everyone tells me that CAS is for http/https and that plugins don't go through that route, the potential scenario I had in mind is one where the page with the SWF player is itself behind CAS authentication (to generate the proxy id in the session), the page is dynamically generated and the URL to the FIMS content embeds the proxy id, the FIMS uses ActionScript to send an HTTP POST request to the CAS server, the server returns XML data and the ActionScript parses the data to determine success/failure. But if there's a smarter way of doing this I'm all ears. Thanks, and if I should have submitted this to the dev mailing list I apologize in advance. _______________________________________________ Yale CAS mailing list [email protected] http://tp.its.yale.edu/mailman/listinfo/cas
