[[!tag patch wishlist]]

ikiwiki should support [Central Authentication
Service](http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas/) authentication in order to use
this <acronym title='Single Sign On'>SSO</acronym> mechanism very popular in
universities web services.

I have already written a first draft plugin supporting that authentication
mechanism. It works for me with my university CAS service. I did not try it
with other CAS server but it do not see any reason why it should not work.

What is the best way to submit it to you (just in case it can help my patch
follows) ?

    +
    +This plugin allows users to use authentication offered by a
    +[JaSIG](http://www.ja-sig.org) [<acronym title='Central Authentication
    +Service'>CAS</acronym>](http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas/) server to log
    +into the wiki.
    +
    +The plugin needs the [[!cpan AuthCAS-1.3.1]] perl module.
    +
    +This plugin has two mandatory configuration option. You **must** set `--cas_url`
    +to the url of a server offering CAS 2.0 authentication. You must also set the
    +`--ca_file` to an absolute path to the file containing CA certificates used by
    +the server (generally, aka under Debian, fixing that value to
    +`/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt` is sufficient).
    +
    +This plugin is not enabled by default. It can not be used with other
    +authentication plugin, such as [[passwordauth]] or [[openid]].
