This is the attribute release feature of CAS,
https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASUM/Attributes.  Clients request
attribute data by communicating with the CAS server via the SAML 1.1
protocol for service ticket validation.  See
https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASUM/SAML+1.1 for more details.

How you actually get attribute data into your application and what you
do with it is a matter you'll have to solve on your own.  All the
"official" clients provide API hooks to get at the attributes that
you'll have to leverage within your application to perform operations
like authorization, personalization, localization, etc.  Spring
Security is an example of an existing framework that has built-in
support for consuming attributes for the purposes of authorization,
but I imagine your needs will require custom code.
