Hi there,

In early 2010, an authorization patch has been posted to the mod_auth_cas issue 
tracker at
https://issues.jasig.org/browse/MAS-37
So far, this patch has not made it into the main sourcecode.

This patch has some limitations and I thought it worthwhile to post an 
alternative patch at
https://issues.jasig.org/browse/MAS-60

The main difference between the two proposals is the implementation method
(MAS-37: HTTP Request Headers vs. MAS-60:Apache Request Structure Note),
the availability of a "CASAuthoritative" directive in MAS-60
and a slightely different configuration syntax:

MAS-37: Require <attribute-name> <value>
  i.e. Require organization foo

MAS-60: Require cas-attribute <attribute-name>:<value> 
[<attribute-name>:<value>]
  i.e. Require cas-attribute organization:foo

The code in the MAS-60 patch is also bigger, but not necessarily slower.

Mod_auth_cas lead developer Phil Ames has asked me to send note to this 
mailinglist
and ask for feedback here as well.

Best regards,

Christian Folini, Swiss Post
