CAS to be disabled – January 20

Wednesday, January 13, 2021

What is happening? In December 2019, IST announced an initiative to decommission the Central Authentication Service (CAS). Having worked with website/application owners to move most affected systems to the centrally supported web-based authentication service, Active Directory Federation Service (ADFS), CAS will be disabled on January 20, 2021.

What is the impact? No impact to end users is expected. Sites that are unable to move to ADFS at this time have been added to an approved-use list. Users will continue to log in to these sites as normal.

Questions or concerns? Please contact the IST Service Desk, helpdesk@uwaterloo.ca
