CASTGC Cookie & NetID

[Giesin, Peter (NBC Universal)]

All,

After successfully authenticating, is it possible to obtain the netId from the CASTGC cookie on subsequent requests? Otherwise would it be possible to modify the CAS login process to drop the netId into a cookie. I have a 3rd party application that needs to know if a user is authenticated and how that user is, but doesn't have any secure resources. It will basically display different data depending on the users status.

Thanks,
Pete
