Scoot,
    Thank you for all.
    We develop a temporary blockage of authentication. If a user 
attempts a bad authentication, it could not authenticate before Xs even 
with a correct password.
    We use an aop:aspectj (pointcut 
org.jasig.cas.authentication.AuthenticationManager.authenticate)

Thanks,
