Goals

1. Improved support for Services Management including a more advanced interface which will allow for self-registration and control over the way services are matched.
2. Continued evolution of supported authentication methods including X.509, LDAP, AD, InfoCard and more including multi-factor authentication, Levels of Assurance, and specifying authentication methods.
3. Continued first-level support for our foreign deployers including expanded Internationalization into logging messages.
4. Modified architecture to support emerging use cases and standards including SAML, Federation, and Desktop applications.
5. Ability to return attributes about users of the system.
6. Provide more interactive and robust feedback including CAPTCHA, warnings, alternate flows (i.e. terms of agreement, password change, etc.)
7. Enable simpler configuration and easier deployment and maintenance options.
8. Enhance test coverage and functional coverage.
9. Enable administrators to have better knowledge of the inner-workings of the CAS server at run-time.
10. Harden the CAS system against systematic attacks (i.e. changing TGT ticket ids on each request, etc.)
