If you are not looking for a high security solution you could do something like this:

AuthType CAS
AuthName "CAS"
require valid-user
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Satisfy any

The "Satify any" is a logical OR for apache authentication. This setup above would allow anyone from the IP or anyone with a valid cas login. Just change the IP to your batch source and you are done. Not high security but it's perfect in a controlled env. with low security requirements.

For high security requirements you can look into a combined mod_auth_cas solution with client certificates. Just create another alias to your secured directory that you protect with SSL client certificates. You then have different slightly different urls but also with different authentication setting.

I am planning on securing some static files with mod_auth_cas but I have a 
batch process that also needs access to these files.  These file are kinda 
sensitive but not super secret.  We just don't want someone bookmarking these 
files and then forever having access to them.  I was thinking that I could give 
the batch process a different url to pull its files from and not have 
mod_auth_cas secure that url.  Is this the way I should do this or is there 
something I am missing.  I cannot change the batch process code as it is a 
vendor product.
