[Pkg-sympa-devel] Bug#720383: sympa: cas authentication does not work due to bug

[Rudy Gevaert]

Package: sympa
Version: 6.1.11~dfsg-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Configuring sympa to use CAS authentcation doesn't work.  The issue has been fixed in a newer release (6.1.16).

	[7917] wwsympa/Auth.pm: [#8852][Submitted by F. P�richon, univ. Lille
	2] Ldap authentication failed in wwsympa with recent version of
	Convert-ASN1. Starting with version 0.25, Convert-ASN1 package has a
	'use strict'. Ldap attrs were passed as a string in a ldap search call
	in wwsympa/Auth.pm thus making LDAP authentication fail. Fixed by
	passing attrs as an array, even when only one attribute is retrieved.

The fix is a one line patch:

https://sourcesup.renater.fr/scm/viewvc.php/branches/sympa-6.1-branch/wwsympa/Auth.pm?root=sympa&r1=7573&r2=7917

I would be nice to get this fixed in the next point release.
