SAS 9.3 + Jasig CAS SSO

[matty]

Hello,

I am new to SAS, so if I use terminology incorrectly please ask for clarification.

Our SAS deployment:

-Enterprise Business Intelligence 9.3.m1

-Deployed on Windows 2008 Server 64-bit

We currently have a Jasig CAS Single-Sign On (SSO) solution deployed at our institution.  I'm interested in using SSO authentication only for the SAS Web Report Studio/Information Delivery Portal.

Has anybody successfully implemented this?  Can anybody provide more information?  The SAS SSO authentication documentation is pretty sparse on details.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,

You didn't mention which web application server you are using so I'll assume JBoss for now.

Whilst I haven't implemented that specific config, I would suggest you have a read of the following resources:

• Configuring JBoss Application  Server 4.3 and 5.1 for Web Authentication with SAS® 9.3 Web Applicati...
• JAAS Integration - CAS Clients - Jasig Wiki

The first link explains how to configure SAS & JBoss for web authentication (via JAAS) and the second link discusses the CasLoginModule - a JAAS module that can be used for configuring CAS authentication in JBoss. I would start with this info when trying to stitch the various parts together.

I hope this helps. It certainly sounds like a fun project.

Cheers

Paul

Hi,

Our SAS deployment:

-SAS Visual Analytics 9.4 bundled with tomcat 7

-Deployed on RHEL 6.5 Server 64-bit

We currently have a Jasig CAS 3.1 Single-Sign On (SSO) solution deployed at our institution.  I'm interested in using SSO authentication only for the SAS Visual Analytics.

Any help on the above integration will be highly appreciated.

Regards,

Himanshu

Paul, with 9.4 you get the VMfacric ones included. No jboss Beaweblogic Websphere anymore as the SAS goal is having one installation with all the tools of the choice by SAS.
