--- Comment #6 from Bernhard Wiedemann bwiedemann@novell.com 2011-04-02 08:16:30 CEST --- yast2-casa-ats is no more in 11.4 so if there has not been an update to 11.1-3 until now, this probably will not be fixed
btw: CASA_auth_token_svc package has this Description
Summary : Novell CASA Authentication Token Service Description : CASA_auth_token is an authentication token infrastructure with support for multiple authentication mechanisms with an emphasis on providing a scalable single sign-on solution.
A key feature of CASA_auth_token is that its authentication tokens contain identity information about the entity being authenticated. This information is made available to the consuming services. The amount of information contained in the tokens is configured on a per-service basis. Because of this feature, we say that CASA_auth_token projects an "Authenticated Identity".
The CASA_auth_token_svc is the infrastructure component responsible for authenticating entities using the native authentication mechanism and for issuing tokens that can later be used by applications to authenticate the entity or services that are CASA authentication enabled.
