Dear All,

customer asked me if VERTICA support CAS mechanism to authenticate users.
LDAP & AD are repositories for the users (thats is doable)

But DB authentication mechanism need to handle special header ("IV_user") containing user login. So to authenticate user CAS service is used, but the authorization (permissions) are still on DB side.

Any experiences?

I think CAS was made for the Web, so not sure how it could be applied for ODBC/JDBC connections. A possible alternative would be Kerberos Authentication
