CAS does not store userdata itself, but uses Authentication Adapters
(LDAP, DB) to access / authenticate user data.
I for example use LDAP, SearchModeSearchDBAdapters or Spring WS Client
to authenticate agains authentication applications.

The good news is application could be modified, developers
cooperate and would use phpCAS. And it's not deployed yet.
For now, they have their own user management, and user profile
+credentials are in their own database.
The question that they have is, what will happen to user
credentials(username/password). in using CAS. Will those credentials
stored in CAS's own DB and they wouldn't have users' credentials
As far as I know, authentication information for each user is
stored in CAS's own DB. If it is correct, for user creation, should
they send a create query to CAS, that tells CAS to create an entry
for new user corresponding a new user in their own DB?
TIA

Where are your users stored? If they use an authentication method
that CAS supports, the application could be changed to require CAS
authentication prior to seeing application content. If the
application cannot be modified you may have an issue. CAS is used
as an authentication filter prior to application entry.

Dear All
Assuming an architecture that CAS is in use(say using Spring in a
Java Web App)
How user management would be changed?
For example, is there a function in CAS Library which makes user
add to CAS possible? which the application's user manager will be
able to add user to its user DB and the CAS simultaneously? Or an
API which makes CAS's user list enomuration possible for a web
application?
TIA
