IdPv3 CAS Protocol Extension Update

[Marvin S. Addison]

I wanted to provide an update on the status of this work. It's taken a 
surprisingly long time to get my head around the codebase and the 
current state of IdPv3 implementation, but I'm there sufficiently to 
realize my initial estimate of summer/fall was fantastical. I am 
presently blocking on the authentication subsystem reaching a state 
where there is some facility for handing off from the profile handling 
subsystem to the authentication subsystem. I understood from the last 
developer call that Scott expects to develop some flow invocation hooks 
for the authn tier in the next month or so; I believe that will provide 
what I need to move forward.

All development of IdPv3 CAS extension components is happening in a 
public venue:

https://github.com/serac/shibboleth-idp-ext-cas

There have been no commits since May, but I hope to unblock soon and 
resume active development. I encourage anyone interested in this work to 
follow the GitHub repository above.  I expect to demonstrate support for 
the CAS v2.0 protocol in some form by end of 2013.
