How to obtain a service ticket?

[Scott Battaglia]

If you want to do something like that I recommend creating a different
endpoint Controller that takes your parameters constructs the credentials
and passes them to an instance of CentralAuthenticationService which would
allow you to obtain a service ticket which you can return as the body of
your response.  This gets around the whole parsing the GET and doing a POST
to the normal workflow.
