Feedback on CasLoginContrib

-- CharlieReitsma, OlivierBerger - 14 Aug 2008

Thank you Charlie and Oliver for contributing to the TWiki project!

Please fill in the detail in the package form. Help also tag (and tag vote) the contrib page. It would be helpful to have a short description of CAS, and/or a link to a documentation page, such as Wikipedia:Central_Authentication_Service

PeterThoeny : note that I applied in OlivierBergerWouldLikeToCheckIn to be able to maintain the Contrib development in SVN.

I am trying to get this to work but I am running Apache2. This seems designed to use the AuthCAS? instead of Apache2::AuthCAS. Am I correct that this will not work for me on an Apache2 server?

-- DougCampbell - 23 Aug 2008

It relies on the perl AuthCAS? module found here http://search.cpan.org/~osalaun/AuthCAS/ (or http://sourcesup.cru.fr/projects/perlcas/), not http://search.cpan.org/~jhitt/Apache2-AuthCAS/ . I'm not really familiar with CPAN policy for those kinds of duplicate modules coexistence ... still, I tested it on Apache 2.2 on Debian lenny, so I suppose it should be OK for you.

Hope this helps (sorry, the link in the dependencies needs to be fixed).

FYI, the Contrib has entered the TWiki SVN, so contents of CasLoginContrib should now be managed the "standard" way (see TWikibug:Item5959).

Also note that I'm trying to push this package for Debian. More details : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=495428

Just issued a new version, in SVN (rev. 17456), now that I'm committer ;-), improving small bits (see changelog).

Any comments welcome
