Anonymous user?

[Michael Testet]

Not sure, if CAS is the right thing to help me with integrating a CMS-based portal and a shopping basket, which is hosted on a ecommerce portal.

I already integrated both portals successfully with CAS. For the shopping basket use case of course no user login is happening before that anonymous user puts something in the basket.

Does CAS support the concept of something like an anonymous user as well?

Michael,

CAS supports a feature called "gateway" which allows you to glean user SSO
information on the application side without forcing them login.  Basically,
your CAS client would need to protect whatever public pages you want user
information on and specify that the gateway feature is desired.

For more information: http://www.jasig.org/cas/client-integration/gateway

You can control this, at least in a Java client, by proper usage of the validating vs. authentication filters and scoping what they filter.
