Just Tomcat, with the AccessLogValve configured so I'm already
collecting some of this data.

Unfortunately, my employers want to associate it with a specific
username...  though to be precise, they're mostly interested in
collecting information about what types of OS's/devices our constituents
have less than what a specific individual has.  The username association
is just a means to that end (I'd use IP which is nicely in the audit
logs as a unique key, but IPs change..).  CAS was thought of as one way
to capture that information since it's basically a gateway through which
all our users wind up passing through and would have access to the
desired data.
