CAS Single Sign On Configuration

The purpose of CAS Single Sign On is to permit a user to access multiple applications while providing their credentials only once. It also allows web applications to authenticate users without gaining access to a user's security credentials, such as a password. 

The information need to configure CAS has to be provided by the host library to Marmot.  The CAS server  will also need to provide information needed to authenticate the patron in the ILS.

Go to Pika Configuration and Library Systems from the left sidebar.
