CAS
Apache Shiro
I need to know the difference between CAS & Apache Shiro.
Are they both used for Single Sign On or does Apache Shiro depend on CAS for authentication
Shiro is a security framework. CAS is a platform for enterprise Single SignOn. Shiro does not depend on CAS, and neither does CAS depend on Shiro. Shiro supports CAS so that you can use Shiro in your applications to authenticate via a CAS server, and CAS uses Shiro to allow you to authenticate to a variety of backend sources. They are both very different from each other.

Application Not Authorized to Use CAS
The application you attempted to authenticate to is not authorized to use CAS.

How to implement two-factor authentication in CAS server.
Want to know How to implement two-factor authentication in CAS server. Preferred google-authenticator
I see that many tools around authentication do not support integration with CAS. (e.g. AWS Cognito)
Is CAS deprecated for new projects? I'm deciding if I should support CAS IdP for my new SaaS project or not.
No, CAS authentication protocol is not deprecated. CAS authentication protocol is still active based on https://apereo.github.io/cas/development/protocol/CAS-Protocol-Specification.html. Most CAS IdPs such as Apereo's CAS Server support other protocols such as SAML and OAuth2. I would adopt these authentication protocols before the CAS authentication protocol.
My 2 cents.
I'm starting to work with CAS on my company. This is totally new for me, so I had to read lot of documents and how to's to have an idea of how CAS works.
So, we have to provide a single sign on service in our server to a company with two different applications. One of those, uses SAML2.
My CAS server is now working against a MySQL database, so I'll have the users of those 2 apps on my database to provide authentication service.
What I don't get clear is about SAML. All the tutorials I've read about SAML2 integrated with CAS 4.0.0 are using Google Accounts. I don't know why! I have some SAML2 configuration on a xml on my CAS directories, but I don't know how to prove if it's working or not.
If you are going to authenticate both of the applications using your single database, CAS is enough, SAML not required. With SAML you can connect to an external application(which supports SAML), both might be having their own internal authentication, but they will commnicate each other through SAML2 protocol/agreement
CAS is ideal ,if you want to setup a web single sign-on to different web applications (exclusively for a single institution), which all use the same authentication (DB, LDAP or whatever). With this the authentication will be centralized for all these different applications.
For users from another external institution to use your web application, SAML would be the choice, provided the External application also should support SAML.
Im trying to make my Bonita account authentication openID- enable login through a google account.
Here http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/single-sign-cas they provide the way of doing it("Configure Bonita client for CAS"). My question is: how should I get the following parameters specified in the link: ip_address:port from google(gmail)?
as probably noticed, im newly to be in this section. Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Bonita BPM will not interact with OpenID protocol out of the box.
However it supports the CAS protocol in the subscription editions.
What you probably need to do is to configure your CAS server to act as an authentication proxy.
Here is how it could work in theory (not sure it is feasible):
Bonita BPM relays user authentication to your CAS server using the CAS protocol.
Your CAS server delegates the user authentication to an OpenID provider such as google. Here is how you could activate OpenID support on the CAS server:
http://jasig.github.io/cas/4.0.x/protocol/OpenID-Protocol.html
An alternative solution could also be to implement a specific Bonita authentication service for OpenID (this requires Java development). In that case you would no longer need CAS. I know for a fact that this is possible.
Be aware that both solutions are technically not trivial to put in place.
Cheers,
You can integrate the BonitaBPM Subscription Edition with a Jasig CAS server:
http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/single-sign-cas-0
The CAS server can be configured to get it's authentication from OpenID as can be found here:
http://jasig.github.io/cas/4.0.x/protocol/OpenID-Protocol.html
I could integrate Bonita Community 7.7.4 with Apereo CAS. Details are here: https://github.com/sparse91/bonita-community-cas.
