Title: Adding Shibboleth to DSpace With CASAK

patch – https://saffron.caret.cam.ac.uk/svn/projects/far/trunk/

Summary of contents:

CASAK is a patch for DSpace which allows container auth to be integrated into DSpace. It provides a number of mapping and filtering facilities to transform data provided by the container into a form suitable for DSpace. These facilities are generally inferior to those available within the SP, but for simple cases the configuration is perhaps simpler.

Configuring CASAK to use Shibboleth is therefore simpler than many use-cases of CASAK.

The approach used here contrasts with that used in MAMS in that CASAK is not Shibboleth specific, and has been designed to make a range of container auth solutions possible with CASAK. The purpose of this was to increase the long-term sustainability of the patch by extending its application to as broad a user-base as possible.
