Hi,

I just want to follow up with the following items:

I thought so too that we had decided on adding a catch-all mapping at 
the end of the file, but it's not there.  Do you need a jira for this one?

We need to cache the password for authentication with services that have 
not yet CAS-protected.  Currently, in cas-client 2.2.0-M*, the 
CASReceipt is stored in the session which I don't think it's necessary.  
Instead, I think the CasFilteredSecurityContext should provide a method 
to access its private CASReceipt.  I've created 
http://www.ja-sig.org/issues/browse/UP-2004 with the following requests 
so we can extend the CasFilteredSecurityContext class for our caching 
credentials implementation:
- change CasFilteredSecurityContext() contructor from private to protected
- provide getReceipt() method. 

This is needed to avoid changing uPortal code and maintaining it 
locally.  Is it reasonable to be included in this release?

Thanks,
Tuy.
