Adding Shibboleth to CAS

[Michael A Grady]

Yes, many organizations run Shib with CAS, and the CAS documentation presents multiple ways one can layer the Shib IdP over CAS:

 https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASUM/Shibboleth-CAS+Integration

The most full-featured approach is to use the latest option for that, where you leverage the External Authentication handler option in the Shib IdP to delegate the actual authentication event/login page to CAS. That is listed at the end of the above page, or the direct link is here:

 https://github.com/Unicon/shib-cas-authenticator

Questions about information on either of the above two web pages would most appropriately be directed to the CAS Users mailing list, versus the Shib list:

 https://wiki.jasig.org/display/JSG/cas-user

Of course, questions specific to the rest of configuring the Shib IdP you'd install for this are indeed subjects for this Shib Users list.
