CAS SSO with database backend

CAS SSO with database backend

Hi,

I'm running (Moodle 3.0.3+) and want it to authenticate users against SSO system (CAS 4.2.2) which in turn works on MySql database.

The existing CAS SSO authentication plugin woks only with LDAP server for the users synchronization operation, which I don't have.

Is there any works in Moodle for using CAS SSO and database for synchronization that I can relay on? and if not what's the workaround solution I can follow?

Regards,

Naaman

You'll probably have to develop (or have someone develop for you) a custom CAS plugin for this.

Think so, we have to customize one.

I started doing this but faced a problem that the CAS plugin depend on the LDAP one, so it's not that obvious solution, it's kind of a mix between the CAS and External DB authentication.

Will share my results when it's done.
