---------------------------------------------------------

Please find attached the VCL CAS SSO patch. This patch modifies/adds the following files:

.ht-inc/authentication.php
 .ht-inc/conf-default.php
 .ht-inc/utils.php
 .ht-inc/authmethods/casauth.php (new)
 casauth/index.php (new)

Below are details for each change:

*.ht-inc/authentication.php*
 selectAuth() function modified to allow for directing CAS type authentication choices to the casauth.php authentication handler.

*.ht-inc/conf-default.php*
 Added descriptive configuration options for add CAS paramters to authMechs array.

*.ht-inc/utils.php*
 * getCryptKeyID() function was modified to add support for casauth URL's
 * curlDoSSLWebRequest() function added for performing web requests using PHP cURL library
 * vclAutoLoader() function was added to autoload VCL classes. This was added to resolve Class Not Found Errors caused by php-pear-CAS library using PHP class autoload functionality.

*.ht-inc/authmethods/casauth.php*
 A new authentication handler that plug's into the conf.php configuration file and handles CAS related tasks, e.g. validating users, adding users to database, updating users in database, updating user group membership to a global group. The user group needs to be pre-created to make sure CAS authenticated users will get added to it.

*casauth/index.php*
 This is a new web directory that handles CAS service validation tasks and consequent user logging in and redirection to homepage. 

*Note: You will need to install php-pear-CAS module on your Web Server.*
