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.)
