The docs at http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/09#Central-Authentication-Service say: "Thanks to CAS 2.0 all fields that are readable on the provider and have a corresponding field in the auth_user table of the consumer will be copied automatically."
This is correct but does not mention that the contents of the additional field are only copied to the corresponding local field when the user logs in the first time, ie when the local user is created. When the original field (in the CAS provider) changes and the user later logs in locally the contents of the changed field are not copied again. This may be by design but may be confusing (it was to me). I suggest appending the docs. Also does anyone know what the local auth_cas table is for?
