Rick, Are you only authenticating with CAS? I ask because your security.properties is set up to also authenticate with LDAP while caching LDAP credentials and against the uPortal database without caching the credentials.
Also, when authenticating with CAS, uPortal will never get the user's password. Well, you could hack CAS to send the password to uPortal, but that would be a bad idea, IMHO. Did you consider CASifying OWA? This, not being open source, may be difficult.
