Hi Marvin,
your help is being amazingly invaluable!

First of all, I discovered I was being silly, using a wrong user. Only 
the Directory Manager is allowed to search ldap in my current 
configuration, so I managed to get info for "username" running this command:

ldapsearch -H ldap://my.ldap.server -x -Z -b ou=X,o=Y,o=Z -D "cn=Directory 
Manager" -W uid=user


So I adapted the deployerConfigContext.xml accordingly:

<bean id="contextSource" 
                  
class="org.springframework.ldap.core.support.LdapContextSource">
          <property name="pooled" value="true"/>
          <property name="urls">
            <list>
              <value>ldap://my.ldap.server</value>
            </list>
          </property>
          <property name="userDn" value="cn=Directory Manager"/>
          <property name="password" value="HISPASSWORD"/>
          <property name="baseEnvironmentProperties">
            <map>
              <entry key="java.naming.security.authentication" 
value="simple" />
            </map>
          </property>
</bean>

and

<bean id="authenticationManager"
    class="org.jasig.cas.authentication.AuthenticationManagerImpl">
    [...]
    <property name="authenticationHandlers">
        <list>
            <bean 
class="org.jasig.cas.authentication.handler.support.HttpBasedServiceCredentialsAuthenticationHandler"
                p:httpClient-ref="httpClient" />
            <bean 
class="org.jasig.cas.adaptors.ldap.FastBindLdapAuthenticationHandler" >
                <property name="filter" value="uid=%u,ou=X,o=Y,o=Z" /> 
// [I also tried with username=%u, as it's called in our ldap]
                <property name="contextSource" ref="contextSource" />
            </bean>

        </list>
    </property>
[...]
</bind>

The result when I try to authenticate with username "user" is always as 
follows:

[15/Oct/2009:10:43:11 +0100] conn=374073 op=0 msgId=1 - BIND 
dn="username=user,ou=people,o=sghms.ac.uk,o=sghms.ac.uk" method=128 
version=3
[15/Oct/2009:10:43:11 +0100] conn=374073 op=0 msgId=1 - RESULT err=32 
tag=97 nentries=0 etime=0

(or uid=... in place of username)

I'm wondering if I'm getting something wrong elsewhere in the 
deployerConfigContext.xml?

Thanks again for your help,
Giuseppe
