Bug#885665: O: webauth - Site-wide web authentication system



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I no longer use this software and won't for the forseeable future, so
I can't test or properly maintain the packaging.

Note for any potential adopters: this software has also been orphaned
upstream.  Stanford seems uninterested in any future development or
even merging simple pull requests.  At this point, it's somewhat dated
in web security technologies (it should use per-host cookies, it doesn't
have hash agility, it should use REST or at least JSON instead of XML
for some internal protocols), but it still works fairly well to integrate
Kerberos into a modern multifactor web authentication system.  But it
would require some dedicated effort to modernize it to be something that
I could really recommend.
