Compatibility

• Plone 2.5 is supported by version 2.5.x of this product (Depends on CAS4PAS)

Details

This Product is a frontend to the PAS + CAS4PAS Product. All CAS management is done by CAS4PAS.

Page Templates are provided that override the default login portlet and login form. This is designed to interract smoothly with plone design. So after CAS Auth, the usual Plone processing are done.

I18N has been taken into account, so messages will be displayed in your native language.

The underlying CAS4PAS Auth Helper supports only GET parameters at this moment. The previous version of PloneCASLogin used ACASUserFolder wich could handle POST data, but this was for Plone 2.1.
