Hi Danny

Basic authentication is only a transport protocol for credentials, it does
no authentication. A separate security provider (e. g. LDAP, SQL
Database,...) is required to perform authentication. CAS does
authentication. The performance is dependent on your configuration.


The 100ms is the security payload, this is independent  of the used
authentication mechanism.

Cheers
Christian
