cas v3.1.1 isn't running anymore :-(

[jehan procaccia]

Forget it, I localized the problem.
my custom views, themes and css seems to be responsible of the error I
encountered.
Now I found a working setup , however I'am a bit afraid that I can trash
a working cas authentication only by changing a css file ! probably a
misunderstood of mine somewhere , but can't find how I came to that
strange behavior of not beeing anymore able to authenticate .
Anyway, it works fine now, I hope it will last .
thanks .

PS: french doc on what I did with french esup package cas-toolbox-3.1.1-1
