In general, a properly configured CAS client should be validating the cert when 
calling serviceValidate, proxyValidate, or samlValidate to ensure that it is 
actually talking to the CAS server and not a "man in the middle".   Since in 
this case, the CAS client is running inside of CAS itself, then the jre that 
CAS is using would need to have the CAS's cert in its truststore.

I have not played with CAS services interface, so I'm going a bit off of theory 
here, but generally, you do have to do your cert management right to get things 
to work.
