Since $CONF.authenticator is always read as an array:
http://github.com/gunark/rubycas-server/blob/01238483a9691dcf0deb0468ca8b41a7603e7071/lib/casserver/controllers.rb#L136

Take a look at line 38 in http://github.com/gunark/rubycas-server/blob/master/lib/casserver/conf.rb

We check whether the authenticator config is an array and convert if required.

Requiring users to add a tiny dash in front of their authenticator settings in their config.yml might be a bit too esoteric. Unless your intimately familiar with YAML, it's not at all obvious that - means "array". The goal is to make the initial set up process for new users as easy as possible, so in the interest of simplicity I'd rather allow users to enter a non-array value for their authenticator.

I thought it was an intentional change, so I was changing the config.
I know your concern and I totally agree with it.
But this line:
http://github.com/gunark/rubycas-server/blob/master/lib/casserver/conf.rb#L38
didn't really fix the problem, it didn't touch $CONF[:authenticator].
And this line:
http://github.com/gunark/rubycas-server/blob/01238483a9691dcf0deb0468ca8b41a7603e7071/lib/casserver/controllers.rb#L136
i.e. $CONF.authenticator[auth_index]
Thinks $CONF.authenticator is an array, not $AUTH.
I've reverted the config change, and applied another patch
to ensure $CONF.authenticator is always an array.
http://github.com/godfat/rubycas-server/commit/ab71dff90792aeeb9025e706c7e58dba1140e3d8
i.e. $CONF[:authenticator] = [$CONF[:authenticator]]
I don't think this is a good idea, but just a quick and dirty fix.

Thanks for your reply.

Github is refusing to let me apply patches right now... something about the repository being migrated to a new server.

I'll get this stuff applied ASAP.

Thanks for all the hard work.

has this been updated as I wasted plenty of time finding out the config requires an extra - in order for my server not to crash with 'premature end of script' errors.

thanks.

Ah crap I must have closed this without actually pulling in the fix. Should be there now. Thanks for the reminder.
