I wanted to offer a heads up about CAS-ldaptive [1] integration work
that I'm pursuing:

https://github.com/serac/cas-server-integration-ldaptive

This is still a work in progress, but we will begin testing shortly
and provided testing goes well we will eventually switch to this
library for LDAP integration for our CAS deployment at Virginia Tech.
A few notable benefits:

 - First-class support for advanced LDAP features (e.g. esoteric
controls including ppolicy, all auth mechanisms)
 - Robust pooling and error handling
 - Pluggable LDAP provider mechanism (JNDI, UnboundID, Apache to name a few)

It's worth noting that Shibboleth and Grouper use ldaptive (or its
ancestor, vt-ldap) for LDAP integration.

It's my intention to offer this module as a replacement for
cas-server-support-ldap at some future date. I'll provide a full list
of benefits and some performance analysis at that time.
