What are the different CAS authentication methods?

What are the different CAS authentication methods?

CAS, or Central Authentication Service, supports several authentication methods including username/password, SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect.

Can you explain how SAML works in CAS?

SAML, or Security Assertion Markup Language, allows for single sign-on by exchanging authentication and authorization data between an identity provider and a service provider.

What are the benefits of using OAuth with CAS?

Using OAuth with CAS allows for secure delegated access, enabling users to grant third-party applications limited access to their resources without sharing credentials.

Are there any security concerns with these methods?

Yes, each method has its own security considerations, such as token expiration, secure storage of credentials, and ensuring proper validation of assertions.
