Dallas,

Thanks for the info!  Part of my problem is that we (the group responsible for
CAS, SSO, and Identity Management in general) have been tasked with getting this
working since it ties into our SSO system, while another group is responsible
for Luminis and has access to their documentation sites.  Argh!

I will definitely check this out and post our experiences here!

Thanks, Mark
