U of M Central Authentication Hub (cookieauth)

- ATTENTION: We are beginning the process of retiring
CAH in favor of Shibboleth (SAML) authentication. New applications
should use Shib instead of CAH. See the U of M Shib Wiki for more details.
- Start here: About CAH - a detailed description of how
it works.
- Sample implementation for Apache 1.3.x (includes old no-longer-functional code for Netscape Enterprise Server)
- Sample implementation for Apache 2.0.x and 2.2.x
- CAH Wiki
for discussion of alternative implementations (authentication required)
The SQL Developer's
Group held a session on Feb. 10, 2004 on implementing CAH to secure
applications on Windows. Presentation materials are
here.
If you need a widely-browser-recognized SSL certificate for your web
server to implement this, we offer cheap
certs through Thawte.
