Hi All,
Figured out the SSO part.
Had to make just one change in
<tomcat_home>/webapps/cas/WEB-INF/spring-configuration/ticketGrantingTicketCookieGenerator.xml
Changed p:cookieSecure="false" from true to false since we are not
using https for Koha's login url.
By default the TGT cookie is sent for only encrypted connections so
browser was not sending the TGT cookie for Koha's http login url..

Now is it possible to create users in Koha after successful login via CAS?
