The CAS client that I use is mod_auth_cas (Apache module written in C
language and uses the apr library). When I added the new attribute
(memberOf) to the XML response, I got some problems: mod_auth_cas crached every
time that a user had a special character (é,è,à...) in group list. It was a
problem in the XML parser. So I printed the XML response to try debuggin. It
seems that all the special character are coded in this manner :
ç --> "\xe7"
é --> "\xe8"
è --> "\xe9"
ê --> "\xea"
à --> "\xe0"
I think that these are hexa values (UTF-8??). I simply transformed these
characters (after receiving XML response from the CAS server) to their
equivalents like this:
"\xe7" --> c
"\xe8" --> e
"\xe9" --> e
It works (I modified the mod_auth_cas to restrict access only to specified
groups in a new directive :CASGroups). However, I have to use modified group
names in my .htaccess file : français --> francais in order to work.
My problem is that unmodified clients (at least mod_auth_cas) can't use the
CAS server anymore because of the XML Parser crash.
I hope you've understood my problem (I apologize for my poor english).
ABH.
