When a user connects to ownCloud via his CAS account,
a user is correctly created and a password is generated.

But the user cannot know that password because it's encrypted,
nor change it, because he just don't know his password.

So I propose to create a file during user creation with CAS in ownCloud database
that contains the user password uncrypted, so the CAS user can connect with ownCloud
desktop or mobile client

Don't know if create a file with a password is a good solution.

The password autogenerated during user creation with CAS is used becouse owncloud requires to set a password.
Maybe a better solution is to use the change password functionality of Owncloud and set the password that the user want for no-web access.

Oh I didn't saw your answer, yes that's a good solution too !

I'll try it, maybe that should remain as an option in CAS configuration in Admin Panel like :

  • Tick the option : force users to choose password when first connection with CAS
  • Untick : stay in actual position/configuration

I'll try some improvements on it asap

Added an option with a default password forced to newly created CAS users
if empty the regular random password is generated
