OpenID and CAS, what is best choice?

CAS and OpenID solve, roughly, two different problems:
* Single Sign On
* User account management

CAS for user-centric. Examples of user-centric scenarios would be Google Apps for Domains: One account for all these services.

OpenID for application-centric. Users will only use one or few applications you offer, and you can thusly simplify the process for them, by cutting the amount of username/password credentials your users have to maintain drastically.
