It depends on what you're trying to do.

If you're trying to programmatically access CAS to accomplish login,  
then you may do well to access it via web services endpoints exposed  
via AOP, and so it's much less a matter of passing credentials to a  
login servlet or even controller and much more a matter of a web  
services remoting of the Central Authentication Service APIs.

If you're trying to make *the user*, as in the end user's browser, do  
this login, then you cannot avoid invoking the CAS login page one way  
or another.  You can use technology such as the Toro Gateway SSO  
Portlet JavaScript technology to step the browser through the form  
submission, or you could otherwise use JavaScript to get the browser  
to post the username and password.  The additional parameters required  
depend on your choice of how to implement CAS login web flow.  This  
topic is discussed in the wiki under the topic of "Using CAS without  
the login page".

Best wishes and happy holidays,
