If you've got custom logic that doesn't match what we've got in our default
handlers, then yes, you'll need a custom one.  You can keep the existing one
for use cases where you need it.

It depends.  If you need a username and password, then extend it :-).  You
may need to adjust the configuration of the authentication handlers to get
the proper behavior (they can be configured to support any "instanceof" or
exact class match).

You'll definitely need to change the deployerConfigContext.xml.  If you're
adding a new credential to be used, in CAS 3.4.2, you'll have to modify the
web flow.  In CAS 3.3.5, that information is contained in the cas-servlet.
