  • CAS 3.1 Upgrade - CAS was upgraded to version 3.1 on November 15th. This revision includes service enhancements, bug fixes and a number of new features:
    • Single Sign Out: CAS 3.1 provides a new feature, tracking service authentications with a callback mechanism to remove authentication credentials from each authenticated service on user logout. Currently only the JA-SIG Java Client incorporates support for this new functionality. Operators of CAS clients who do not need to take advantage of Single Sign Out functionality can continue to use their existing clients.
    • Google Applications: As part of the new SAML framework in CAS, a Google Applications authenticator has been implemented in CAS. This authenticator will be used in the upcoming Gmail pilot project.
    • Service Management: (Not currently in use) The CAS Service Management interface allows CAS administrators to manage what services may authenticate to CAS, and what authentication features are available for each service.
