Srikar,
Whether and how your application can consume the user name as
authenticated by CAS is entirely a matter of whether and what CAS
client software you use. The Yale Java CAS Client, for example, can
be configured to wrap the ServletRequest to expose this username as
request.getRemoteUser(). But this is an implementation detail of that
particular client library, not a matter of a requirement or feature of
the CAS protocol itself.
If you'd like to consume the CAS user name via request headers,
getting to that point is a matter of developing or using CAS protocol
client binding implementations that accomplish this, e.g. an Apache
module or the like.
I'm afraid this post won't be very concretely helpful in pointing you
to particular software to get the job done, but I do hope it helps to
identify the pieces under discussion here.

Is there a way that I can see the CAS user name from the request
headers after authentication and proxy forward from the apache. I
used the Oracle SSO earlier and used the request headers to fetch
the user name when it is not possible to fetch the used name from
request.getRemoteUser().
Thanks
