[LON-CAPA-admin] JA-SIG/Yale CAS with LON-CAPA

[Mike Stanger]

We're considering integrating JA-SIG CAS (Central Authentication  
System) with LON-CAPA.  I'm wondering what other schools' experience  
has been with using CAS in LON-CAPA? Is there a 'right way' to go  
about it?  My initial thought on how to put it in place is to protect  
the entire space with mod_cas and grab the authenticated users from  
apache's REMOTE-USER env var, completely overriding the initial login  
page, which seems a bit kludgy.

Any comments from those have experimented with, or are currently  
running LON-CAPA with CAS would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Mike
