Ruby CAS Server on Heroku

Rails
1

Hi,

I’m implementing a single sign-on solution based on rubycas-server and
rubycas-client plugins. I’m also deploying a demo for my application on
heroku.

Is it possible to deploy the CAS server on Heroku and connect my
application (which is also on heroku) with such CAS server?

Probably. But why not try it and find out?

Ahmed - wondering if you have tried this out yet and how it went if you
did.

In case anyone is wondering, I’ve now got a version of rubycas-server
(the sinatra version) running on heroku.

See here - GitHub - metasoarous/read_only_rubycas_server: Provides a single sign-on solution for web applications, implementing the server-end of JA-SIG's CAS protocol. Forked from the gunark branch in roder to provide read only filesystem compatibility..

It works a bit differently than the old one, but it does work. In
particular, whereas the old one is both a gem and the actual application
(which not only seemed weird on it’s face but also posed issues with
heroku), this one has been factored out to work as a gem that you
require in your project. So there is some work to do in setting up the
application, but the README on github should get you going without too
much difficulty.

If advice, comments, suggestions, critiques, please do let me know.
