How to implement SSO with: Roundcube Zimbra + CAS?

Question

We're developing a mail system whose mail client is Roundcube using with Zimbra as mail server. My task is integrating them with a CAS server which enable them to Single Sign On. After days of researching I confuse that's impossible.

So how can I implement SSO the mail application with CAS?

Just to understand, why do you want to use roundcube on top of Zimbra since comes with his own very powerfull (in my opinion) webmail client? — Nab Ilovich, Jun 20 '16 at 11:38
Yep, but we need to customize the mail client since it's limited by zimbra — lethanh, Jun 21 '16 at 01:12
Well it's up to you but you wan build zimlet and skins in Zimbra. — Nab Ilovich, Jun 21 '16 at 07:14

Did you see this? It might still apply: https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/CASifying_Zimbra_6.0

and this: https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CAS/CASifying+Zimbra

If Roundcube is a fat client for the server, not sure if it can leverage SSO. You need to experiment.

I had CASified my Zimbra but it just work for Zimbra mail client, not Roundcube mail client – lethanh Jun 16 '16 at 01:35
Right. That's a shortcoming of the mail client. It does not realize Zimbra is using CAS for SSO. – Misagh Moayyed Jun 16 '16 at 16:21
