phpCAS
======

[](#phpcas)

phpCAS is an authentication library that allows PHP applications to easily authenticate users via a Central Authentication Service (CAS) server.

Please see the wiki website for more information:

Api documentation can be found here:

[![Test](https://github.com/apereo/phpCAS/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/apereo/phpCAS/actions/workflows/test.yml)

Project is unmaintained
-----------------------

[](#project-is-unmaintained)

As of June 2024 this library is not actively maintained and looking for active developers & maintainers. The project is in an okay shape and in working order but needs a bit of steady maintenance or maybe even someone who wants to modernize it. We have also documented & automated a lot so I think it's nothing to worry about.

Please contact the CAS project management team if you are interested:  or through the public mailing lists:
