At Princeton we use CAS Authentication. I am not sure where the code came from since it was already in place when I joined. It does have an issue where it goes into a loop when authenticating successfully against CAS with an account that is not configured in the DSPACE EPerson table. This is due to Princeton not allowing users to create their own accounts.
If there is interest I be happy to discuss the details, digg up code, … Monika — Monika Mevenkamp Digital Repository Infrastructure Developer Princeton University Phone: 609-258-4161 Skype: mo-meven On Sep 7, 2017, at 12:46 PM, Tim Donohue <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi Lorenzo, All DSpace features are community developed features (we don't have a central development team), and we welcome contributions for new authentication methods from anyone (see Code Contribution Guidelines<https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Code+Contribution+Guidelines>). As you've discovered, there is early community work on building out CAS protocol support, and it is being tracked mostly in this ticket: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1028 Unfortunately though, as of right now, this effort has stalled. The original code was found to be a bit buggy, and other developers had asked for code updates to stabilize & cleanup the code. Currently, that code has not yet been updated based on that initial feedback. If you or someone else would like to help contribute to moving these ideas forward, we welcome any contributions to add CAS support. At this time, the code is simply waiting for a new volunteer to help move it forward (or create a new plugin if the old code is lacking), and we don't know exactly when that new volunteer will appear. If anyone reading this thread is also interested in this effort, or has developed their own local CAS plugin, I'd also encourage you to contribute it back to DSpace (ideally, via a GitHub Pull Request mentioning the above DS-1028 ticket).

We find this plugin (https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/CAS+and+SAML+Authentication) in "Development Projects". There are possibility that a new official method of authentication will be implemented using the CAS protocol and include it in DSpace as authentication plugin (https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Authentication+Plugins#AuthenticationPlugins-ExampleofaCustomAuthenticationMethod). On the other hand, someone can tell us how she/he approached the topic of connecting DSpase with an SSO system using CAS protocol.
