[cas-dev] pam_cas, IIS

[Smith, Matt]

All-
  Two questions:
  1) Is there an official "pam_cas"?
  2) Is there an official IIS CAS filter?

  I pose these questions on cas-dev because of a thought I had while
porting mod_auth_cas to Apache on Windows.  I'm considering development
of a libcas that externalizes the CAS protocol, leveraging curl for
HTTPS handling and expat for XML handling.  Done properly, this could be
leveraged by any CAS client implementation written in C, including
pam_cas and an IIS filter.  I would not suggest rewriting something that
already works and is "official", (if it ain't broke ...), but I do not
know what the state of pam_cas and an IIS filter are.

  My thinking, though, is that much could be gained by having a
cross-platform C library that pam_cas, IIS cas, and mod_auth_cas could
all leverage.  Ensuring common protocol support (CAS 1.x/2.x) and adding
new functionality (e.g., SAML support) could be simplified.

  Before I think any further about this or spend any further time
prototyping, I was hoping for some feedback.

Any thoughts?
