cas 6.x-3.0

We are proud to announce the first release in the 6.x-3.0 branch. Please back up your database and read the release notes before upgrading. It is not possible to downgrade to 6.x-2.x after upgrading. This release is identical to 6.x-3.0-beta2.

Changes since 6.x-2.x

(Important) Database Schema Changes

Previous versions of CAS used the {authmap} table to store the relationship between CAS usernames and Drupal users. This was changed to use our own table {cas_user} to prevent conflicts with authnames shared between different external authentication modules. If you were sharing the {authmap} and {users} table between different Drupal installations, you may need to update your configuration to also share the {cas_user} table as well.

Upgrade routines have been provided. It is not possible to revert to CAS 6.x-2.x after upgrading. Please back up your database.

(Important) Login Link Changes

In previous versions of CAS, logins could be triggered by creating a link to cas which (after login) would automatically redirect back to the referring page. Now the login destination must be specified explicitly (instead of relying on the HTTP Referrer) --- for example cas?destination=node/2.

If you include a link to /cas in your theme, you may need to replace the code with something like
print l(t('Log in'), 'cas', array('query' => drupal_get_destination()));

phpCAS version 1.0.0 or later is required, however version 1.1.3 or later is highly recommended for security.
