Description

Up to 500 words:

uPortal 3 ships with an embedded CAS server and uses CAS by default. uPortal 3, like uPortal 2, continues to support features for optionally replaying end user credentials to authenticate channels and portlets to backing resources. This session will review the the CAS and credential replay functionality in out of the box uPortal 3 and its support for use of proxy tickets by channels and JSR-168 portlets and will discuss how this relates to credential replay approaches embodied in the popular Toro GatewaySSO Portlet and uses of credential replay to access IMAP for email access and preview. The extensions to CAS and to uPortal implemented at Sacramento State University capture the password at CAS login, transmit it to uPortal, and thereby enable single sign on via credential replay alongside single sign on via CAS, allowing both approaches to be used in concert. These extensions will be especially treated in this presentation to complete the presentation of the CAS and credential replay approaches as enabled in uPortal. The presentation will close with relation of the serendipity of this technology, having been shared by Sacramento State, enabling implementation of CAS single sign on into Datatel's WebAdvisor and suggestions of opportunity for further extension and application.
