[Freeipa-users] Is it possible FreeIPA for Web Apps SingleSignOn like CAS?

[Adam Young]

In order to authenticate through the firewall you  have to allow kinit 
and kerberos web traffic through, which means opening port 88.  If you 
are unwilling to do that, you need to come up with an authentication 
solution that will pass through firewalls, which means either basic 
auth, digest, or certificates.  IPA has an embeded CA in it (Dogtag) but 
does not yet manage user certificates.

The approaches for web only single sign on (OpenID, OAuth, SAML and so 
forth)  still require the initial authentication.  Since IPA doesn't 
currently have a solution for that piece, we do not yet support one of 
hte HTTP SSO mechanisms, but it is under discussion.
