[[!tag patch wishlist]]
ikiwiki should support Central Authentication
Service authentication in order to use
this SSO 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) ?

Inline here is ok; git-am by mail is ok; a git repo I can pull from also
ok.
This looks pretty acceptable as-is, but you need to put a copyright and
license statement at the top. I have a few questions that I'll insert
inline with the patch below. --[[Joey]]

In ikiwiki we generally deman-load perl modules only when they're used.
This avoids loading expensive modules when the CGI isn't doing
authentication. Can you do that with AuthCAS? Something like this before
the use of it: eval q{use AuthCAS}; error $@ if $@
+
+sub import { #{{{
+ hook(type => "getopt", id => "cas", call => \&getopt);
+ hook(type => "auth", id => "cas", call => \&auth);
+ hook(type => "formbuilder_setup", id => "cas", call => \&formbuilder_setup);
+} # }}}
Could you please use tabs for indentation of program flow?
+# FIXME: We should check_config to ensure that :
+# * cas_url and ca_file are present
Please fix that..
+# * no other auth plugin are present (at least passwordauth and openid)
Why would you want to make other auth plugins not work? Could a site not
legitimatly chose to use this and another auth method?

+
+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.
Does it really need that specific version? I think you should lose the
version part.
+
+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).
It would be good to add commented-out examples of these to
[[ikiwiki.setup]] as well.
+This plugin is not enabled by default. It can not be used with other
+authentication plugin, such as [[passwordauth]] or [[openid]].
