Hi,

First I should thank Brew and Juan for their kind helps :)

Now I have good news for you two :
CAS supports authenticating the users from a non-LDAP DB server such as
MySQL or PgSQL. This way there would be no need to implement a LDAP server
for authentication as it can simply read from my main application database
tables where it stores users information (
http://developer.ja-sig.org/projects/cas/multiproject/cas-server-jdbc/apidocs/index.html
)

So now everything seems to be OK with the first method. Also with the help
of DBI-Link I can have my main application write user information to all the
connected DBs, tables and fields.
The main application will be Liferay Portal ( www.liferay.com ). It's a Java
program and it can also be implemented using PgSQL database. I don't really
know how this DBI-Link works, but the way Juan said, maybe I can have
Liferay write user information to a PgSQL DB and have DBI-Link propagates
the data (username, password, first_name, last_name, city, state, country,
zipcode and ... ) inside Liferay's DB to all appropriate DBs.
Also I will disable ANY modification to the above mentioned fields in other
applications so that a user need to change for e.g his name in Liferay, and
then it will take effect in other applications as well.
So in this method, I will use a PgSQL server with 2 databases ( one for
DBI-Link and one for Liferay ) and a MySQL server with maybe 10 databases
for other applications. In this case, CAS will read authentication
information from Liferay DB in PgSQL.
Any comments or ideas ?!

Warm Regards,
Amir
