Add an Authentication Configuration – CAS

Use the following procedure to add an CAS authentication configuration:

1.  Select Authentication Setup from the Security section of the Setup menu. The Authentication Setup page is displayed.

2.  Click Add.

3.  Complete the following fields:

•     Authentication Type – Select CAS (Central Authentication Service) from the drop-down menu.

•     Name - Enter a name for the authentication configuration.

•     Priority – Enter a number to define in which order the authentication should be performed relative to the other authentication configurations. When multiple user authentication providers are enabled, ResCenter will verify user information with each provider in the list in descending order. The list of providers is ordered from lowest number first to highest number (last). The default ResCenter provider is always checked last and cannot be edited or disabled. Any user name will first be checked against the list of defined, enabled providers in descending order, and then it will be checked against the ResCenter provider last.

•     CAS URL - Enter the CAS authority’s URL without any service endpoints. For Example:

https://sso.university.edu/cas/

•     Login URL – Enter the full login URL or only the login service. For Example:

https://sso.university.edu/cas/?login=

OR

?login=

https://sso.university.edu/cas/?validate=
