CAS Roadmap

The CAS Roadmap provides a common understanding regarding the what, why, and how of future CAS releases. Adopters use the roadmap to understand when a new version may be released, the changes they can expect, and based on the type of release, the difficulty or ease with which to upgrade. CAS developers use the roadmap to communicate with each other and the community the types of features, bug fixes, and improvements they are individually committed to working on.

...

3.4.x releases are conservative incremental changes for backward compatible bug fixes, enhancements and new features. CAS 3.4.12 is the latest 3.4.x release and was made available in May, 2012.  This will likely be the last patch release for the 3.4.x series since 3.5 was released July 2012.  CAS deployers are encouraged to upgrade to the 3.5.x series.Active developers maintaining this release:

Refactor Authentication APIs

Developer: Unlicensed userMarvin Addison

The present AuthenticationHandler/AuthenticationManager API components have served us well for approximately a decade.  With a relatively small amount of engineering effort, we can build on these components to achieve some notable features in an elegant fashion:

• Generic authentication messaging API.  The intent is to leverage this API to extend the LPPE work for LDAP handlers to arbitrary authentication backends and provide implementations for RDBMS and X.509 certificates at a minimum.
• Support for salted passwords.
• Multi-factor authentication support.
