I mean, if the TGT is not stored anywhere and you need to access a
service that you didn't access before and you don't have an ST for,
you'll get asked for username/password again (or the ST won't validate
for the second service if you're not using the login form)

Yes, I do agree with you, I'm basically fine with doing it that way, my
RESTful calls are using HTTPS and I'm not storing the TGT anywhere (you
could argue it's safer) and it's also transparent for my users.

My middleware does authorization as well as password policy checks for
the objects in LDAP, since I haven't been able to setup the password
policy handler for CAS. If I were just using the login form I couldn't
have this, but I agree this is my particular scenario and not the CAS
universal scenario where it excels.

As soon as I get consumable error messages with semantics related to the
password policy and SAML with user attributes working, I think the road
is ready for browser-only CAS for me in new deployments.
