The next challenge is to connect Liferay, CAS, and LDAP authentication. In this combination, the CAS system provides single sign-on mechanism, the LDAP system stores the user's credentials, and Liferay uses both systems to authenticate users coming from LDAP. This configuration is used in many deployments. Furthermore, we dare to say that it should be considered as a standard solution when people think about intranet in their companies.
Study the Integration with CAS SSO and Liferay and the LDAP integration recipes explained previously. Set up the system in accordance with these recipes. Check out the connection to the LDAP Server from Liferay and verify that the CAS authentication is enabled.
To integrate Liferay with CAS Server where LDAP is the authentication provider, follow these steps:
Find the archive with the CAS server downloaded from http://downloads.jasig.org/cas/. Copy
