CAS accessibility to people with disabilities

[Jean-Paul JORDA]

Hi,

We use apereo CAS for our applications, but unfortunately the login page is not accessible to people with disabilities. That's a problem for these people of course, and what's more we a bound by law to provide accessible web sites (WCAG A and AA criteria).

Is there any plan to improve CAS in this area ?

If needed, we may provide audit results, help to test, html templates and bits of (s)css, but we are poor java developpers.

  

Thanks !

Jean-Paul

Audit results are probably important to help highlight what the problem is and where it is. The actual layout is driven by a bunch of HTML templates, that one can typically update without being a Java dev or really knowing the internals of CAS. Most installations are going to customize a lot of it to make the login page look more like a page for their campus. Additionally, a lot of the page can vary depending on what CAS options you have enabled. So testing on my login page can have very different results than the default one or another campus' customized one.
