About CAS abilities to fulfil my requirements

[Christian Haugen]

Hi!

 

I have a general question about CAS and was hoping to get an answer
before I invest too much time in something that may not work. I am
planning on using CAS as a server that authenticates its user to two
separate web services residing on different servers. Here is my
scenario:

 

I have two web applications, A and B that have different user databases.
I want to set up a CAS server that has the following functionality:

- When you go to A or B's log on page you immediately get redirected to
the CAS log on page. This log on page will be a simple page with just
the logon functionality. If Bob for example want to connect to A and
thus get redirected to the   

  CAS log on page I want the CAS server to send Bob's log on information
to server A for approval. If this information is correct then I want Bob
to be redirected to A but also gain access to B, and vice versa. 

 

I have seen the information on
http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CAS/Using+CAS+without+the+CAS+login+s
creen but as far as I can understand from the guide it still lets the
CAS server do the authorization. I have a loginsystem in place on server
A that I wish to use so that the CAS server simply sends the login info
to A and A replies with granted/not granted access. 

 

Is this possible to do with CAS and is there more information about such
a setup online?

 

Thank you in advance, my regards
