     +This plugin has two mandatory configuration option. You **must** set `--cas_url`
     +to the url of a server offering CAS 2.0 authentication. You must also set the
     +`--ca_file` to an absolute path to the file containing CA certificates used by
     +the server (generally, aka under Debian, fixing that value to
     +`/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt` is sufficient).

     +This plugin is not enabled by default. It can not be used with other
     +authentication plugin, such as [[passwordauth]] or [[openid]].
