Hi Eric, When leveraging CAS, the CAS server would provide the login page/validation rather than wordpress/Liferay. At the least, it sounds like you need, and have actually started, to utilize Liferay portal's CAS integration. I don't have Liferay setup/know its interaction behavior, but my first thought is simply a link on a public wordpress page pointing to your Liferay portal's entry/home page (with Liferay's CAS integration taking care of the authentication, and bypassing login appropriately if a CAS SSO session is already established).
If your case is such that users are required to log into wordpress rather than just act as consumers of public pages (one of which has link over to the entry of your Liferay portal), you would have to CASify wordpress (see: https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CAS/CASifying+Wordpress). The wordpress login would be replaced by the CAS server login and the SSO session established upon successful CAS login should be respected if/when they choose to go over to the Liferay site (having your CAS integration). If you decide on ldap for credentials, an authentication handler for this is provided by the CAS server and just needs to be configured on the server side (see: https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASUM/LDAP).
