Daniel-

There is no good way to integrate Samba directly with CAS - you should instead 
tie Samba to the authentication service acting as the backend to CAS (assuming 
Kerberos or an LDAP server containing NTLM hashes to preserve security).

However, if you really wanted to try to hack something, you could write a new 
PAM module that validates credentials against the CAS REST interface (note -- 
the current pam_cas module does not do this - it is used for validating proxy 
tickets), then configure Samba to use this new PAM module, and finally 
configure your workstations to send plain-text credentials to the Samba server. 
 This would work, but I would strongly recommend against it due to the security 
concerns in sending plain-text credentials to the Samba server.

HTH,
