Just add my 2-cent. I have used CAS at FSU for over 10 years and it is
fairly easy to install if you used mod_auth_cas rather than mod_cas (which
I think is not been worked on for years). Download a copy of mod_auth_cas
from jithub and follow the instructions. The loncapa configuration is in
the domain.manual.pdf though I noticed that the line (on page 50)



LoadModule mod_sentinel modules/mod_mycas.so



should be (per mod_auth_cas instruction)



LoadModule auth_cas_module modules/mod_auth_cas.so



Also, for

PerlSetVar lonOtherAuthenType MyCAS



I have

PerlSetVar lonOtherAuthenType CAS

Yes, at MSU (both CAS and Shibboleth for Single Sign On have been
implemented).

See: section 4.2 "Shibboleth Authentication (SSO)" and section 4.3 "CAS
Authentication (SSO)"
in the Domain Coordination manual, e.g.,
loncapa.vcu.edu/adm/help/domain.manual.pdf
for general information.  Note: both will require institution-specific
configuration.

Good Morning All:
We currently use LDAP for authentication for LON-CAPA.  Has anyone
successfully implemented CAS or Shibboleth authentication?  We're looking
to create a seamless experience for our LON-CAPA users.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
