Version 0.6.0

2009-11-18

This release changes support for group-directory naming to allow multiple directory definitions per group. This change will allow directories to be created based on multiple criteria, not just a single property.

• Change: Changed group-name callbacks to return an array of names for a group rather than a single string. (2009-11-18 - Adam Franco)

Version 0.5.0

2009-10-09

This release adds support for CAS authentication.

If going to CAS authentication from LDAP, enable both authentication methods, then run the updater under Admin Tools --> MiddMedia Updates to map LDAP ids to CAS ids.

From there both authentication methods can be left enabled or the LDAP method can be disabled.

Authentication configuration has changed to support the reworked admin-act-as-user authentication method.

Version 0.3.0

2009-07-24
