Learn about single sign-on services / CAS

Problem

  • I want to know about CAS authentication for access to Miami single sign-on services

Resolution

  • Miami's Central Authentication Service (CAS) provides a single sign-on service that allows you to log in once and be authenticated to multiple Miami web-based services and applications
    • Your browser must have cookies enabled to support single sign-on; many supported services will not work correctly if you disable cookies
  • CAS single sign-on process handles authentication only: Authentication proves that you are who you say you are by asking you to provide your UniqueID and MUnet password
    • CAS does not handle authorization to individual services: Authorization determines whether you are allowed to access a web-based service or application
  • When integrating CAS authentication with your service or application, your site must redirect the user to the CAS login URL https://auth.miamioh.edu/cas/login. You must pass the return URL to your Miami site, so that CAS knows where to redirect authenticated users
