Hi Graham, Don't let me scare you away by saying that "DSpace doesn't support CAS authentication", i.e. this JIRA ticket that provides CAS Authentication provider to DSpace has not been accepted into DSpace. https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1028, it looks like there have been 5 pull requests trying to bring that feature in... I'm not familiar with those contributions, but we would love DSpace to support all the relevant authentication stacks.
(Sidenote, I've been working on Spring Security SAML, and would like to provide the ability for DSpace itself to authenticate directly with SAML-based auth mechanisms, i.e. shibboleth, and ADFS, without a mod-shibb) Check to see what your CAS code is doing. i.e. dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/authenticate/CASAuthentication.java (its not a part of stock DSpace). method allowSetPassword. It should "return false;" if you don't want to allow them to set the password. For example, ShibAuthentication doesn't allow changing the password. https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/387ee1c1af4ce26656e8ca585224390a358bb760/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/authenticate/ShibAuthentication.java#L407-L410 It looks like XMLUI shouldn't show the form to change their password if that is that way. https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/387ee1c1af4ce26656e8ca585224390a358bb760/dspace-xmlui/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/xmlui/aspect/eperson/EditProfile.java#L401 However.... If you have multiple authentication methods enabled, such as CASAuthentication and PasswordAuthentication, if passwordauthentication allows the user to change their password, then it will show the user as being allowed to set their password. (But, each time they log in, CAS with have already approved them with their campus credentials). In this event, you'll probably want to edit xmlui / aspect/eperson / EditProfile.java, and just yank out all the allowSetPassword section. Or perhaps CSS to hide it? ________________ Peter Dietz Longsight www.longsight.com [email protected] p: 740-599-5005 x809 On Thu, Oct 29, 2015 at 8:12 PM, Graham Faulkner < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > > > On our newest staging server (DSpace 5.3 with Mirage 2) we have CAS > authentication implemented (with a CAS login URL oddity that I just posted > to the list). > > > > Once the CAS user logins successfully and goes to their Profile page, it > shows the Security section with the form for changing the password.
