HI Richard, There are some bugfixes in github at https://github.com/Jasig/dotnet-cas-client but I don't think a new version has been released or a nuget package deployed.
I've been experimenting recently with updating the CAS client for WIF 4.5 support, but the changes are so significant that a new version wouldn't be backwards compatible with .NET 2.0/4.0. It would depend on the SessionAuthenticationModule rather than the FormsAuthenticationModule and would be able to store claims directly in a ClaimsPrincipal, replacing the CasPrincipal. There would be no more separate role lookups required. From what I understand, client code would be backward compatible with the FormsAuthenticationModule, but you would have access to more detailed information through new API calls if you needed it including everything contained in the SAML assertion. I've successfully used WIF's built-in SAML library to parse CAS's Saml11 responses, though the framework code doesn't like that the assertions aren't signed and my workaround is a little hacky. With WIF 4.5, applications can use/subclass the ClaimsAuthenticationManager to add additional application-specific claims to the ClaimsPrincipal as the principal gets created, which would simplify most real-world integrations quite a bit. One other possible consideration for a new version would be to support OWIN-based hosts. I'm not sure what efforts would overlap there. HttpModules don't really come into play with OWIN. Microsoft has been migrating key components of their own stack to support OWIN (WebAPI and SignalR for ex.) and we should probably provide support there as well. That would allow the CAS client to support web servers and platforms beyond IIS/Windows. -Scott On Mon, Nov 18, 2013 at 10:52 AM, Richard Everett <rich...@codrie.com>wrote: > Hi, > > > > Using the .NET CAS client for the first time, we have noticed that version > 1.0 dates from 2010.
