Marvin,

Thanks for the pointers. The issue is that the PeopleAdmin CAS client attempts 
to handshake using SSLv3, which is disabled by default in the 11.5 version for 
F5.  They’re the only people that I know of that do that. It took a packet 
capture on the F5 to see this.  I’ve enabled SSLv3 on our test CAS server and 
their client works fine (as expected).  I’m attempting to get them to update 
their side, but, I’m not holding my breath on that. My guess is that they will 
start seeing more CAS servers where this will be an issue.

Thanks again,
Chris
