Typically, the CasProxyTicketValidator delegates to CAS' ProxyTicketValidator.validate() method which returns false to proxyTicketValidator.isAuthenticationSuccessful(). Put differently, you'll only see /casfailed.jps if there is something fundamentally wrong with the ticket. This will usually only happen if the user has attempted to do something invalid, like POSTing a false ticket to /j_acegi_cas_security_check. Normal user interaction takes place on the CAS server, and invalid passwords cause the re-display of the CAS server login page so they can try again.
