302 redirects are a fundamental aspect of the CAS protocol.  The CAS
server has a RESTful Web service API, but that is intended to be used
by service components that need to integrate with CAS.  It's ill
advised to use the WS API for user authentication.

This component is called "TicketRegistry" in CAS, and it supports a
number of implementations discussed under that heading in
http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASUM/.

There is no support for NoSQL databases like Cassandra out of the box,
but it should be possible to develop one using the TicketRegistry
interface,
