Get a hold of the Principal object where?  On the server side its available
as part of the Authentication object.  On the client-side you need to
construct it from the response given back by the server.  The Yale client
only supports the unmodified CAS2 protocol, which can retrieve the
username.  The JASIG CAS Client (which is part of Spring Security 2.0)
allows you to more easily plug in other validators such that you can parse
custom responses and reconstruct the Principal.

object.
