Hey all,

Just writing to ask what the best way to share a Squirrelmail (Webmail
IMAP) CAS plugin (using pam_CAS on the backend) that I'm building for my
environment.  I can't imagine no one's CASified Squirrelmail before, but
there didn't seem to be loads of code out there, and what I *could* find
didn't cover everything in my particular environment - hopefully I
didn't re-invent the wheel too foolishly.  

The code I have is based on a CAS plugin I found here:
http://old.nabble.com/Squirrelmail-plugin-for-CAS-authentication---Single-Sign-on-td21590538.html.
 I've updated the phpCAS library that was bundled with the plugin and
made a few other changes, with the general goal of making the plugin
being configurable and relatively non-invasive to Squirrelmail (That
said, for certain functionality my plugin does require some minor
patches).  It's working fine in my test environment, though I've not
finished testing certain behaviors (the one I'm most interested is
deciding how to handle the situation of the PGT expiring) or features
(authenticated SMTP w/ CAS).  

I basically just want to find the best way to get it out there to help
anyone out in the future who might be interested in CAS-ifying
squirrelmail, assuming there's enough interest.  Unfortunately, I'm not
really a coder by trade and am new to CAS in general (just have a test
environment at this point), so I can't guarantee any degree of quality
or coherency to the code.  However, even taking my probable ineptitude
into account, I'd imagine it could be useful.

I can go further into detail about the changes I made to the plugin (and
why) if there's interest, but I didn't want to clutter the list up
unnecessarily since it's really only of relevance to people working with
CAS and Squirrelmail.
