Here I share a YouTube video and PowerPoint slides for a ten minute introduction to Jasig Central Authentication Service.

I'm giving a ten minute introduction to CAS as part of half-hour multi-presenter presentations in Unicon's EDUCAUSE 2009 booth on Wednesday November 4th and Thursday November 5th featuring CAS, Shibboleth, and Vasco.

Here's a YouTube video recording of (my rehearsal of) the CAS portion of the talk:


The slide are available on SlideShare.

I hope I'll see you at these live presentations, another time at Unicon's booth (#475) at EDUCAUSE, at Unicon's Market Research Session on Open Source, or at another EDUCAUSE 2009 venue, such as the Open Source Reception.
