Thanks for the reply Ben!
I actually have a proof of concept working. It was pretty simple to add the necessary code. Only had to touch 3 files, /index.php, /global/session_start.php and /global/code/accounts.php.
My approach was to force authentication through CAS and have the CAS server pass back the username. This username would then have to match the FormTools account username. Since the user has already authenticated, FormTools doesn't really need to know their password, so for ease of use, every FormTools Account will have the same password...
Though I've not yet integrated the messaging/language functionality, I will plan on getting around to that when I have time. I really like the way that works! SLICK! The included language file is impressive...
