> Document Magnolia CAS module.
> CAS (Central Authentication Service) is a single sign-on protocol. Its
> purpose is to permit a user to access multiple applications while providing
> credentials (such as user ID and password) only once. It eliminates future
> authentication requests when the user switches applications during a
> particular session. Unauthenticated users are diverted to the authentication
> service and returned only after successful authentication.
> Possible Magnolia use case: An editor is already authenticated against a
> directory service (such as Active Directory) in his office environment. When
> the editor tries to access Magnolia, Magnolia CAS module directs the request
> to a CAS server. CAS server recognizes that the editor is already
> authenticated and immediately redirects him back to Magnolia, logging the
> user in.
> Magnolia uses the [Jasig CAS|http://www.jasig.org/cas] client library
> (earlier Yale CAS).
