I'm just trying different configurations to see if there is a workaround for 
the fact that I can authenticate, pull the attributes, but authentication fails.

>From the cas.log

2013-07-11 15:22:50,439 INFO 
[org.jasig.cas.authentication.PolicyBasedAuthenticationManager] - 
LdapAuthenticationHandler failed authenticating jmdanner+password

It appears that something in the policy based authentication manager doesn't 
know that the auth succeeded.

Do you think using the required handler policy would make a difference?

Not at present. I attempted to provide a sample, but the configuration 
wasn't clear to me. I made a note that Misagh needs to review and 
provide an example. Maybe he'll jump in here.

That said the authentication docs are very much a work in progress. I 
tried to emphasize that principal resolvers are now optional in the 
Principal Resolution section [1]:

PrincipalResolver Versus AuthenticationHandler
The principal resolution machinery provided by AuthenticationHandler 
components should be used in preference to PrincipalResolver in any 
situation where the former provides adequate functionality.

You should verify that you need to wire up a PrincipalResolver. If you 
simply want to authenticate and pull attributes from an entry, 
presumably the one corresponding to the authenticated user, the 
LdapAuthenticationHandler provides that functionality with no further 
components.

I appreciate your working with CAS 4 and drawing some attention to the 
documentation. It's time well spent to try to support you. Let me know 
if you have further questions.
