First Time poster... CAS + WebAdvisor? Anyone?

[Goodyear, Duran]

I don't think anyone has access to the source code ;)
I was posting to this list hoping there was another "user" who had been
able to tie CAS and Web Advisor together. 

Yes, Web Advisor talks to Colleague (the name of the ERP/SIS system,
that Datatel, the name of the company, provides).   Colleague is the
data source, and does a lot of the heavy lifting, and passes data back
to Web Advisor that displays it on your browser.     Colleague does the
LDAP exchange to authenticate the user and then has its own internal
data on what the user can do & see in the interface.

Thank you.

Duran,

If WebAdvisor uses the standard Java Security methods (i.e. uses
request.getRemoteUser()) you can place the CAS Filters in front of the
application in the web.xml and it should recognize it.  

Otherwise, you'll need to do some digging into their documentation to
see where their plugin points are for providing your own security.  I
unfortunately am not familiar with WebAdvisor nor do I have access to
the source code. 

Thanks

	Good question.
	Sorry if its out of the blue.

	WebAdvisor is a product of Datatel's.  
	I work for the University of the Arts, we're a Datatel school,
as in, our ERP/Student Information System is by Datatel, and they're Web
front end, Webadvisor is how our students register for classes, check
their grades, fill out personal contact information etc...  staff and
faculty have their own abilities... budget controls, faculty can grade
students, etc... 

	It's a Java application that runs on Tomcat, though I'm sure
many java containers could handle it.

	It authenticates its users against our Active Directory system,
and current we are running uPortal as our Single Sign On system for our
webmail interface (owa), webadvisor, and sakai.     

	Hope that helps. 

	Thanks
