# CAS (legacy)

Legacy CAS (Central Authentication Service) configuration carried over from Chamilo 1.x. See [CAS](/3.x/administration-guide/admin-guide/authentication/cas.md) for the current status of the CAS authenticator in Chamilo 3.x.

Access these settings under **Administration > Configuration settings > CAS**. This category contains **7 settings**, listed below with the title and comment shipped in the platform's settings fixtures (`SettingsCurrentFixtures.php`).

> The variable name in code is shown in monospace. Use it when scripting via the API or when you need to change those settings at a global level by editing [`config/settings_override.yaml`](https://github.com/chamilo/chamilo-lms/wiki/Configurations#configsettings_overridesyaml).
