Is there any news on mahara with CAS as authentication module? I think I would be able to code some module, but I do not want to do work already done.

Hello Uwe,

There has not been any CAS integration work as far as I know unless somebody did not make their dev work available to the community.

Hi Kristina,

thanks for your answer. Looks like I will do that integration on myself then. If there will be nothing against it, I will not hesitate to share it afterwards.

Best regards,

Uwe

Hello Uwe,

Certainly nothing speaks against you sharing your development work once you are done. That would actually be fantastic.

Cheers

Hi, we are also trying to make an authentication plugin for CAS, we are using Jasig phpCAS library but we are getting the following problem, when it comes back from CAS forceAuthentication method, mahara does not continue executing the code. Any ideas?

public function authenticate_user_account($user, $password) {

$this->must_be_ready();

phpCAS::setDebug();

// initialize phpCAS

phpCAS::client(CAS_VERSION_2_0,'url.to.cas',443,'/cas',false);

// no SSL validation for the CAS server

phpCAS::setNoCasServerValidation();

// force CAS authentication 

phpCAS::forceAuthentication();

//Nothing happed after forceAuthentication line

//It never return true


return true;

}
