Feature Request: Authentication via CAS

[fao]

Active Directory integration works wonderfully but unfortunately I cannot use it because:
1) The security group at my organization won't allow me to use LDAP integration unless I use LDAPS
2) the windows group wants me use Kerberos authentication rather than LDAPS
3) My uses prefer I integrate with our standard Single Sign-On solution that uses CAS (Central Authentication System) http://www.jasig.org/cas

I have explored the option of using mod_auth_kerb but afaict that does not work with nagiosxi as it uses its own cookie-based authentication scheme
http://wiki.nagios.org/index.php/Windows_Authentication

So my options are:
1) Figure out how to integrate NagiosXI with kerberos, perhaps using the ldap integration component as an example
2) Integrate with CAS, lots more hand-coding on my part

My preferred option is number 2, but it may be much more difficult to implement.

There is a phpCAS library
https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASC/phpCAS

Dear nagios gods, what is the likelihood of seeing either manner of authentication supported in the near future?
