Developing stress tests for CAS

[Scott Battaglia]

Andrew,

Using a tool like OpenSTA may be better than JMeter (its "friendlier")
though I don't know if development is still active on OpenSTA.

For our load tests we merely attempt to log into CAS and then
create/validate multiple service tickets.  There are some issues with that
as you need client applications on other services to validate tickets.
