Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right category. If not, I would appreciate it if it could be moved to the appropriate place.

I installed Drupal 6.12 a month ago. I am working with a team of several researchers and since they do not want to have another account that they have to remember, I installed the CAS module such that these guys can login using their existing university accounts.

However, there are also external people who do not have a university account and therefore, can't be authenticated using the CAS server. Therefore, I wanted to use the CAS module as well as the regular login block. Whereas internals can use the CAS login, the few externals could use the regular Drupal login. It is no problem to activate both blocks simultaneously.

However, it does not seem to work:
I still can use the CAS login link and I can log in successfully using CAS, but if logging in with the Drupal Login form, I get "Access denied. Sorry, unrecognized username or password. Have you forgotten your password? You are not authorized to access this page."

I would be glad to get some help!

thanks!

Add a backend authenticator to the CAS server setup, which looks up accounts in the Drupal tables.

This is relatively easy with rubycas-server, using the CASServer::Authenticators::SQLMd5 class. The users table is called users, username field is user, password field is pass.

Make sure your CAS server has the appropriate permissions to log onto the database server from its location.
