Notes
This is the initial NES release of the Central Authentication Service module.
Changes
- Security: Match CAS usernames to Drupal accounts exactly; a name differing only in letter case no longer logs in.
- Security: Make
{cas_user}.cas_namecase sensitive, so CAS usernames that differ only in letter case are distinct identities. Runupdate.php(cas_update_7105); the status report warns until it has run. - Testing: Download phpCAS 1.6.2 from the Apereo GitHub archive; the old JASIG URL returns 404.
- Testing: Replace the case-insensitive login test with coverage for exact CAS username matching, case-variant identities and trailing spaces.
