Hello,

I'm just doing a quick spec. on SSO for a current project. I like the 
look of CAS as a solution, compared to Shibboleth it seems much simpler, 
and Openid won't work for us. But I find myself trying to bend CAS in 
one or two ways which make me uncertain if I'm approaching it with the 
right expectations. I realise there's often not a perfect fit, but 
because I'm new to the protocol I'm uncertain if I'm working against its 
expectations.

Is this a very unCAS thing to consider?

* Each application in the SSO network will be, in effect, a CASProvider? 
This lets each application manage the username/password for the their 
member, and they can operate independently of the SSO network if need 
be, but CAS can also know how to query it during authentication.

In our case, the applications are all Rails applications. I'm currently 
experimenting with rubycas-server which is probably not suitable for 
production (we estimate a large, international userbase). Does anyone 
have recommendations for a good opensource CAS server?

Regards,
Nicholas Faiz
