What’s the next line in the log after it says there was a 
TicketValidationException?  It looks like most all cases should throw something 
back into the logs which will be diagnostically helpful.

To put that in context, in our environment seeing these occasionally is not 
unreasonable — we keep a tight service ticket window, and it’s not uncommon 
that a ticket will expire if a user’s connectivity briefly drops on wifi, they 
have poor cell reception, etc.  Our logs will show 
“org.jasig.cas.client.validation.TicketValidationException:\n ticket 
‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’ not recognized”.  [To be fair, the user is usually not 
even aware of this in most cases as upon reestablishment of connectivity, the 
ticket invalidates, they bounce back to CAS, and then are able to get in.]

In all cases having the folks running those servers send you more from the logs 
should be quite valuable.
