I'm using cas for authentication and I'd like to be able to take advantage

wrong but if I were using the DaoAuthenticationProvider I'd simply
overload the createSuccessAuthentication to return my custom
Authentication object that would provide access to additional custom data
returned in the user object.
 

Usually you'd usually return the custom UserDetails implementation (or, 
more commonly, your subclass of User) directly from your 
AuthenticationDao. createSuccessAuthentication on the other hand is 
provided so people needing to create complex Authentication objects can 
do so. For instance, they might need to store more than one credentials 
token, such as a password _and_ a ZIP code.

It doesn't appear that the CasAuthenticationProvider to support this
method of taking advantage of custom data in the same way.  Does anyone
have any ideas on how I could go about getting this functionality with
CAS?
 

Just customise your AuthenticationDao's loadUserByUsername method, and 
the Authentication token generated by the CAS packages should contain 
your custom UserDetails.
