Hi there,

I don't know whether CAS (http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/appliances/default/
show/22) is obsolete due to the more and more interest on T2, but I
still give it a try because it seems more "lightweight". So here I am
writing for sharing some bugfix and improvement to all.

Bugfix in verify() of applications/cas/controllers/cas.py:

    session.user_id=r[0].id # BUG: session.cas_user_id=r[0].id
    session.user_name=r[0].name # BUG: session.cas_user_name=r[0].name
    session.user_email=r[0].email # BUG: session.cas_user_email=r
[0].email

The original typo causes a new user has a chance to obtain privilege
of the previous user who just used the same browser.


Improvement(actually just a reminding):

Nowadays most email servers requires authentication before you can
send an email. So in applications/cas/models/email.py, I suggest to
add corresponding settings.

        EMAIL_USER="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
        EMAIL_PASS="blah"

then later:

            server = smtplib.SMTP(EMAIL_SERVER)
            server.login(EMAIL_USER,EMAIL_PASS) # Add this line
            server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg)

Sincerely,
             Iceberg, 2008-Nov-17, 12:36(PM), Mon
