CAS - Home

Apereo, Jun 29, 2023

So in coversation recently the subject of single-sign on (SSO) for distributed services came up, and I was led to this site. Apereo's Central Authentication Service (CAS)  "is an enterprise multilingual single sign-on solution and identity provider for the web and attempts to be a comprehensive platform for your authentication and authorization needs." What's important is that "CAS is an open and well-documented authentication protocol." The site links to an open source Java implementation. I think this is an area that will assume an increasing importance as we move into decentralized networks, and I suspect that identity technology will continue to evolve.
