JaasAuthenticationHandlerTests + "${user.home}/.java.login.conf"with "CAS" realm causes failure

[Smith, Matt]

  I wanted to document this corner-case, just on the off-chance it may
save someone a few hours of time.  If you have a ".java.login.conf" in
your "${user.home}" directory, and the file has a "CAS" JAAS realm
configuration, the JaasAuthenticationHandlerTests will fail.  For now,
simply rename the CAS realm and all is happy.

  I will file a bug with the full solution, which (I believe) is to
prefix the config file name with a "=", to force an override of all
other JAAS configuration:

HTH,
