If I am understanding the documentation correctly Shibboleth would run on top of something like CAS. We would first want to implement a CAS type system and then we would want to implement Shibboleth if we were interested in allowing authentication with other organizations.
This a-select appears to be along the same lines as CAS correct? And part of the same NMI initiative. We are an educational association so although our need for Shibboleth may not be immediate it is certainly interesting to us. ~Cynthia -----Original Message----- From: Jochem van Dieten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 3:54 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Discuss: Cross Site Sign-on George Abraham wrote: > > http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/ Shibboleth is rather heavy weight. If you are looking for an application that can not only establish an identity, but also carry authorization information etc. it is definitely the way to go. If you just want to carry a username across domains and nothing else, I would recommend looking at http://www.a-select.org/ or even just at HTTP Digest Authentication.
