Hi Steve,

Currently, DSpace does not come with a CAS Single Sign-on plugin.

However, DSpace does provide a plugin interface which allows 
institutions to build their own authentication plugins as needed.  For 
more information on this, see the Documentation on Stackable 
Authentication Method(s):

https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC/Configuration#Configuration-StackableAuthenticationMethod%28s%29

Currently, DSpace ships with authentication plugins for:
* LDAP
* Shibboleth
* X.509 Certificate
* IP Address based authentication
* Internal Database-driven authentication (default)

More details about these plugins are in the docs above.

I know that doesn't entirely answer your question.  But, if you (or 
anyone else) is willing to build a CAS authentication plugin, we would 
gladly consider it for inclusion in a future version of DSpace software. 
More information about contributing code to DSpace is available at:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/ContributionGuidelines

Also, if anyone else on this list has already built a CAS plugin, please 
let us know! Obviously that would be something worth sharing with others 
in the community who wish to use CAS Single Sign-on in conjunction with 
DSpace.

- Tim
