OVERVIEW
=========
-django-cas-provider is a provider for the `Central Authentication
-Service <http://jasig.org/cas>`_. It supports CAS version 1.0. It allows
-remote services to authenticate users for the purposes of
-Single Sign-On (SSO). For example, a user logs into a CAS server
-(provided by django-cas-provider) and can then access other services
-(such as email, calendar, etc) without re-entering her password for
-each service. For more details, see the `CAS wiki <http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CAS/Home>`_
-and `Single Sign-On on Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Sign_On>`_.

+To install, run the following command from this directory::

+ python setup.py install
+
+Or, put `cas_provider` somewhere on your Python path.
+
+If you want use CAS v.2 protocol or above, you must install `lxml` package to correct work.
+
+UPDATING FROM PREVIOUS VERSION
+===============================
+
+I introduced south for DB schema migration. The schema from any previous version without south is 0001_initial.
+You will get an error:
+
+ ``Running migrations for cas_provider:``
+
+ ``- Migrating forwards to 0001_initial.``
+
+ ``> cas_provider:0001_initial``
+
+ ``Traceback (most recent call last):``
+
+ ``...``
+
+ ``django.db.utils.DatabaseError: relation "cas_provider_serviceticket" already exists``
+
+to circumvent that problem you will need to fake the initial migration:
+
+ python manage.py migrate cas_provider 0001_initial --fake
- ``python setup.py install``
-Or, put cas_provider somewhere on your Python path.

+This destroys a client's single sign-on CAS session. The ticket-granting cookie is destroyed,
and subsequent requests to login view will not obtain service tickets until the user again
presents primary credentials (and thereby establishes a new single sign-on session).

not handle proxy authentication.
