Hi all! My name is Ben Winston, and I'm a developer at the School District of Philadelphia. We've been happy CAS users for a few years now, and we're always looking for new ways to improve the login process for our students.
We've been experimenting with a new login methodology targeted towards students who do not have the ability to type in their credentials on a typical login form. Instead of using a keyboard, these students will be able to present a QR Code (containing their encrypted credentials), which is scanned by their device's webcam and automatically logs them in. The process is similar in concept to gaining access to a locked room with an RFID badge. We have implemented a Proof of Concept for this methodology as a separate service that exists alongside our CAS deployment, and we are exploring the possibility of writing a module for CAS to bring this functionality to the community at large. What I'm wondering is: is this a feature that would be of interest to the community? I would love to hear any feedback you have on this idea, and whether you would make use of this feature if it were available. As I mentioned, our target user base for this feature would be primarily users who have particular difficulty logging in with a typical login form (such as young students or students with an IEP), so this may be more interesting for K12 school districts than higher ed. I'm also happy to give a demo of what we have working if anyone is interested. Hope you're all staying safe!
