[http://www.kuleuven.be/ Our university] is working towards a complete AAI (Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure) implementation. For web applications we are using the [http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/ Shibboleth architecture]. But as you can read in [ShibbolethAuthHowTo the Shibboleth Authentication HowTo], a big problem with AAI and webapplications is authentication on the backend (with Horde/IMP that would be the mailservers). What we needed was a way to prevent the password passing the webmail servers AND the mailservers.

Meet CAS: "Central Authentication System". It was originally developed by Yale and then adopted by the JA-SIG group. The ESUP consortium is also actively developing in the CAS area.
