We use CAS here at ACU for our single sign-on service and it works great but trying to authenticate with it from an iPhone app can be a little tricky. Luckily the latest versions of CAS server can implement a RESTful protocol which can be used to programatically obtain a Ticket Granting Ticket and subsequent Service Tickets.

I’ve been able to successfully do this in a native iPhone app but the method still needs refinement. I’m posting this to see if anybody else is doing this or knows of a better method. If anyone else is interested I’d be glad to share code, just let me know.
