Yes, there is out-of-box support for this within tomcat.
JAAS is based on role.
And I know josso(another opensource sso product) dose just what you said based 
on JAAS and tomcat.
Do you mean CAS 3.1 M3 or later will support doing like that?

But I still think returning extra info using xml
(casServiceValidationSuccess.jsp??) is a better idea.
