1. INTRODUCTION
|
|
|
|
The Central Authentication Service (CAS) is the standard mechanism by which web
|
|
applications should authenticate users. Any custom applications written benefit
|
|
from using CAS.
|
|
|
|
Note that CAS provides authentication; that is, it determines that your users
|
|
are who they say they are. CAS should not be viewed as an access-control system;
|
|
in particular, providers of applications that grant access to anyone who
|
|
possesses a NetID should understand that loose affiliates of an organization may
|
|
be granted NetIDs.
|
|
|
|
The JA-SIG CAS Client for Java is a support library for Java applications to communicate
|
|
with the CAS server.
|
|
