Configuring CAS
{% warning %}
Warning: Before configuring CAS on {% data variables.product.product_location %}, note that users will not be able to use their CAS usernames and passwords to authenticate API requests or Git operations over HTTP/HTTPS. Instead, they will need to [create an access token](/enterprise/{{ currentVersion }}/user/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use).
{% endwarning %}

3. Select CAS.

5. In the Server URL field, type the full URL of your CAS server. If your CAS server uses a certificate that can't be validated by {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}, you can use the ghe-ssl-ca-certificate-install command to install it as a trusted certificate.
