Thank you very much, this solved the problem.

For those who are interesed: I overestimated my knowledge of Glassfish. It turned out that GF maintains a separate cacerts store for its domains, and does not 
consult the one by the jre.

Some other issues:

1. Some of the image files of the CAS webapp in the "cas-server-3.2-release.tar.gz" distribution are corrupt. They can be recovered from the prebuilt .war file, 
though.

2. While the PKIX problem on compB was still unresolved, the Cas20 filter threw a "CAS Server returned no response" exception, hiding the PKIX exception (even 
from log files!). If it is easy to make this error indication more verbose or to-the-point, please do so, for the sake of future generations :)


Thanks and keep up with the nice work,
Gábor
