This page needs to disambiguate itself from Globus CAS or Community Authorization Service, which is a similar system 129.215.62.144 10:34, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --AlainR345^{Techno-Wiki-Geek} 05:00, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CAS is not a protocol -- 41.238.189.10 (talk) 14:20, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to http://www.jasig.org/cas, CAS is at least in part a protocol. --AlainR345^{Techno-Wiki-Geek} 05:00, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"usually by checking a username and password against a database (such as Kerberos..") - in my opinion the reference to Kerberos here is problematic, since Kerberos is a single-sign-on protocol itself and not a user/password store — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aui72 (talk • contribs) 12:33, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's due to the stub quality, it touches several subjects but doesn't expound. There is the concept of a Central Authentication Service which has been around from the 1950s and the earliest network authentication needs. There are implementations of the Central Authentication Service concept that include Kerberos dating back to 1985 and DAP (with successors LDAP and Active Directory) dating back to 1988. There is Apereo's 2005 CAS Protocol implementation of the concept. And there is Apereo's software product called CAS that uses the protocol. The stub-quality article mentions all of these without differentiating them. As the article is written now someone could confusingly believe CAS is a web service and also a protocol created in 2005, implemented in the 1980s, and first used in the 1950s. If the articles were fully developed I can imagine at least these four full topics. Bwagstaff (talk) 18:20, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
