Perhaps I shouldn't have sent an apache configuration - we aren't planning on putting apache httpd in front.

I was thinking more along the lines of an additional filter to add to the web.xml of the app in question that allowed me to specify a list of users directly or potentially a resource on the classpath that contained the list.

(just guessing)

    Authorization does not exist in CAS per se, but you can deliver
    attributes to CAS services using the attribute release feature,
    https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASUM/Attributes.  Then the CAS client
    consumes these attributes in some meaningful fashion, e.g. for
    authorization.  There's a patch to mod_auth_cas,
    https://issues.jasig.org/browse/MAS-60, to allow the attributes to be
    treated as authorization constraints very similar to what you've done
    with PubCookie.

    Take a look at the references I cited and let me know if you need
    further help.
