It has been tested with PostgreSQL 7.4.7

No, WS-GRAM does not use CAS authorization out of the box. But you can
submit jobs with credentials that have assertions from CAS server embedded
in it. That is, you can use the proxy from cas-proxy-init to submit to GRAM.
The code will ignore the CAS assertions and use the proxy.

Yes, assertions from CAS which contain the rights are stored as non-critical
extensions of the credential. So there is no reason to parse it, if the
application does not understand it. 

Are you looking to protect WS services distributed with GT using CAS? If you
can provide some details on what you would like to setup, I can help with
details on how the enforcement can be written. We have done some work with
GT trunk code (4.1.x) to process CAS assertions in the WS container.
