You'll need to set your CASValidateURL to CAS_SERVER/samlValidate and set:

CASValidateSAML On

You can choose an attribute delimiter if you wish:

CASAttributeDelimiter ";"

You can also set an attribute prefix:

CASAttributePrefix "PREFIX_"

To put the attributes in the HTTP headers, be sure to set
CASAuthnNHeader to something:

CASAuthNHeader username

Assuming you have mod_auth_cas setup as above and CAS returns a group
attribute in the SAML, the HTTP headers will have something like the
following:

PREFIX_group : group1;group2;group3

If you want to use require directives on this header information in
mod_auth_cas, the following patch may be useful:
