Hi All,
Just to update this thread for anyone who may have followed it, or for the archives.
I've now done what Andy suggested and have stopped using CAS and am using Tomcat authentication instead, which seems to be working well so far in my tests (not live yet). Andy suggested that there was help on the I2 website... for anyone wanting to do similar things, then the link I used to help me was this:
https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/SHIB/IdPUserAuthnConfig
under the Java-based User Authentication.
Also for completeness... the slow LDAP login which I was having in Windows 2008 is still a problem using this method, so that rules out CAS and Spring as the causes. I guess it's something within Java itself.
Cheers,
Steve

Hi Andy,
Thanks for your reply. The Tomcat authentication certainly sounds a little more simple, and simple's always good. I'll have a dig around to see if I can find any more info or the old thread... but if you have any links to any guides then that would be most useful.
As for the CAS version 3.x... yep I didn't really find too many problems. I used the walk through from the following page:
http://shibsp.ntu.ac.uk/confluence/display/Shibboleth/Install+and+Configure+CAS+Server+(Windows)?showComments=true&showCommentArea=true
It was fairly clear, although from memory I had to go off and find various other bits (like SpringLDAP) so that I had the files that it mentioned.
However... I'm now using CAS 3.2.1, which has everything needed already in it and I found it worked well for me. It was CAS server I used, not the client... copy the WAR into Tomcat webapps, and then copy "cas-server-core-3.2.1.jar" and "cas-server-support-ldap-3.2.1.jar" from the modules folder of the downloaded ZIP into the "cas\web-inf\lib" folder of the exploded CAS war in Tomcat, then edited the "deployerConfigContext.xml" as described in the link above.
Also.. thanks for the Shib2 advice. I'll probably have a play anyway just to get a feel for what might be coming around the corner, but will probably stick with 1.3 in production.
Cheers,
Steve
