Good day CAS users,

I hope you are all well.

Quick question - are any of you successfully and securely using mod_auth_cas 
for Apache with mpm_itk or mod_ruid2? I'm thinking this may be a bad idea and 
is sparsely documented for that reason...

Mod_auth_cas creates cookies with the user/group identity dictated by mpm_itk 
(instead of the web server's identity) - thus, if CASCookiePath is only 
writeable by the webserver's identity, mod_auth_cas fails:

[error] MOD_AUTH_CAS: Could not create cache metadata file 'XXX/XXX/.metadata': 
Permission denied
[error] [client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] MOD_AUTH_CAS: Cookie file 'XXX/XXX/cookie' 
could not be created: Permission denied

I've got it working but it required making the CASCookiePath world 
read/writable which is bad.

I appreciate any guidance or lessons learned that you can offer.

Thank you in advance,
-Neil
