The ITS WebAuth team is pleased to announce Stanford WebAuth 4.4.1. This
is a minor feature release for the WebLogin component.
For documentation and downloads of WebAuth 4.4.1, see:
<http://webauth.stanford.edu/>
New Debian packages built against Apache 2.4 have been uploaded to Debian
experimental.
The user-visible changes in this release are:
* Add a new authenticate callback to the WebLogin configuration. If this
function is present in webkdc.conf, it will be called for every user
visit to WebLogin and may return the user's authentication information
or an empty list to defer to normal handling. This can be used to
extract authentication information from the full WebLogin environment;
for example, it could map information about a successful client-side
certificate authentication to an authentication identity.
* When run under FastCGI, the WebLogin scripts now use a persistent
CGI::Application object instead of recreating it for each query. This
avoids reinitializing the Template Toolkit and reopening memcached
connections for each query.
* WebLogin and the WebAuth Perl bindings are now built with Module::Build
instead of ExtUtils::MakeMaker. This should be transparent to anyone
not working with the source code, but Module::Build and
ExtUtils::CBuilder are now required to build the WebLogin code. They
are included in Perl 5.10 or later and can be installed separately for
older versions of Perl.
