I am interested in this also.  mod_cas at
http://mod-cas.sourceforge.net/ doesn't have complete documentation and
neither have had a release for over two years (?!).  It seems that
Apache::AuthCAS requires mod_perl and mod_cas wouldn't.

There really should be nice, up-to-date way to CASify an application at
the webserver level.  Is there something I'm missing?
