I believe that's correct. The guidelines for unique identifiers that I'm familiar with recommend including both sequential data and secure random data, and the format of CAS TGTs is consistent with that practice. I should note that the only requirement mentioned of tickets in the CAS protocol doc is that identifiers SHOULD start with a particular prefix and MUST contain adequate random data to prevent guessing. So you can change the format with confidence you won't have trouble with well-behaved CAS clients. In practice I'm pretty sure you could switch to another IdGenerator component and not run into trouble.
