Authentication using CAS - Central Authentication Service
I have installed a CAS (http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas/) and many applications use this service for authenticate users, I like use moin but is necessary this authentication method, I don't use LDAP.
For what its worth, if you can rig up moin to use apache's Basic Auth for security, you should be able to set upmod_casand get cas auth on your moin. We have also been working on a python auth module which can handle the groups that Columbia's Cas impmentation (wind) can use, but haven't contributed a cas version back yet. Contact jonah at ccnmtl dot columbia dot edu if you are interested in taking a peek. -- Jonah
I tried doing this. mod_cas works correctly, but moinmoin doesn't see it at all. Instead, I get returned to mywikiurl/?ticket_info, and I'm still not logged in. Any suggestions? -- VinayAugustine
- Maybe ask Jonah?
It would be simple to add this to auth methods if there was a python client. Alas, there isn't, so I'll reject this feature for now because it can't be implemented easily. -- JohannesBerg 2008-03-18 02:31:15 ---
There is a solution for CAS auth, see RichardLiao/CasAuthentication
