Comment (by Tim Graham):
It looks like `CASBackend.authenticate()` doesn't follow
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/auth/customizing
/#writing-an-authentication-backend the advice in the documentation], "The
`authenticate` method takes credentials as keyword arguments." Instead,
it's taking positional arguments.
I'm not against trying to maintain backwards compatibility for this case
but I'm not sure that it's a high priority. Are you willing to try to
write a patch? I'll attach a test that I started.
