A general JAAS authentication module, `CasLoginModule`, is available with the specific purpose of providing authentication and authorization services to CAS-enabled JEE applications. The design of the module is simple: given a service URL and a service ticket in a `NameCallback` and `PasswordCallback`, respectively, the module contacts the CAS server and attempts to validate the ticket. In keeping with CAS integration for Java applications, a JEE container-specific servlet filter is needed to protect JEE Web applications. The JAAS support should be extensible to any JEE container.
