[08:14:54 CST(-0600)] <Kewlj1313> Hello all

[08:14:55 CST(-0600)] <Kewlj1313> anyone around?

[08:57:59 CST(-0600)] <Kewlj1313> hello EricDalquist

[08:58:10 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> hi

[08:58:14 CST(-0600)] <Kewlj1313> how goes it?

[08:58:16 CST(-0600)] <Kewlj1313> do you use CAS?!

[08:58:36 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> we do not

[08:58:41 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> we use shibboleth at UW

[09:01:59 CST(-0600)] <Kewlj1313> interesting

[09:02:09 CST(-0600)] <Kewlj1313> any opinion on that vs CAS?

[09:03:08 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> not really, I'm not in the group that deals with SSO at all

[09:03:18 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> my only real gripe with Shib is the complexity of the SP

[09:03:32 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> as a java app dev I'd really like a pure-java shib sso module I could plug into my app

[09:05:10 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> but I believe CAS wasn't an option as the majority of our big SSO apps need to be able to handle federated auth from the other University of Wisconsin schools

[09:05:48 CST(-0600)] <Kewlj1313> ah gotcha

[09:05:52 CST(-0600)] <Kewlj1313> very interesting

[09:06:16 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> there are 16 universities/colleges in the uw system

[09:06:26 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and madison hosts a lot of shared services
