What is CAS in Blackboard?

A: CAS is managed by W&M, which allows greater security for user information. Additionally, CAS will integrate Blackboard with other systems that use CAS logins such as Degreeworks and Tribe Directory. CAS creates a "time ticket cookie" which identifies the user as one who has already logged in successfully. While the time ticket is active, you can access various CAS-enabled services without the need to log in again.

How does CAS work?

That means if you log in to Blackboard on a Swem computer, personal laptop, and a mobile device, CAS will generate 3 time tickets for you. The more time tickets in use, the slower Blackboard will operate. To close-out a time ticket, log out of the system and close your browser. Not only will that improve the speed on the remaining open systems, but it's also a precautionary internet-security step.

Is Blackboard a W&M?

A: Blackboard is moving to W&M's Central Authentication Service (CAS) login system, which is a safer and smarter alternative to our current system. The transition is part of an IT initiative to streamline login services through CAS. Previously, Blackboard and it's various supporting services each had separate logins. As CAS has the ability to "remember" your login credentials, it will provide more continuity as you move from service to service.
