      This patch involves major changes to each authentication plugin.

      1. Run PHPunit for all authentication plugins.

      Repeat the following steps for each authentication plugin:

      1. Configure the authentication plugin (they don't need to be configured to actually work. You just need to assign valid settings to each configuration option.)
      2. Record the setting you apply to each plugin.
      3. Upgrade the site pulling in the patch for this issue
      4. Navigate to the configuration page for that plugin. verify that each of your configuration settings are correct.
      5. Make some changes to the settings and save them
      6. Verify that the settings were properly saved

      Spot test a few authentication plugins by configuring them and verify that they work. Ideally:

      • LDAP
      • CAS
      • SHIBBOLETH
      • MANUAL

      Bonus points:
      Install a third party authentication plugin (Like https://moodle.org/plugins/auth_ip) and verify that it continues to work, and that debugging notices are displayed when editing the plugin settings.
