  [http://www.kuleuven.be/ Our university] is working towards a  
complete AAI (Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure)  
implementation. For web applications we are using the  
[http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/ Shibboleth architecture]. But as you  
can read in [ShibbolethAuthHowTo the Shibboleth Authentication HowTo],  
  a big problem with AAI and webapplications is authentication on the  
backend (with Horde/IMP that would be the mailservers). What we needed  
was a way to prevent the password passing the webmail servers AND the  
mailservers.

  Meet CAS: "Central Authentication System". It was originally  
developed by Yale and then adopted by the JA-SIG group. The ESUP  
consortium is also actively developing in the CAS area.
