Hi Hank, We talking AuthN or AuthZ? With AuthN you should be able to setup CAS to authenticate against Active Directory, though I have no experience with this.
With AuthZ it's a little more complex, you'll have to write your own connector glue for Active Directory using the ldap stuff as a template. AD and LDAP are essentially competing technologies, so I'd try and stay away from this if possible. (Our institution, for instance, has both LDAP and AD servers fed from a single source. So we use AD for things like windows box administration, but use LDAP for the nix side of things and applications. Is this a common setup for other institutions? If so, you might be able to just say "use LDAP" instead.)
