I need to be able to authenticate a username/password combo received from a 
legacy NON-webapp. From reading some of the old forum 
messages(http://tp.its.yale.edu/pipermail/cas/2004-July/000617.html), it seems 
I can do a get/post to the CAS login servlet and parse the response for a 
service ticket (not particularly appealing). Another method appears to be to 
use the ServiceTicketValidator class and call validate() with a service ticket. 
However, I am not sure how to get a service ticket in the first place (an 
unused service ticket is what I need). The documentation for CASFilter and 
CASValidateFilter indicate that these classes can be used to do validation but 
I am not sure how (there don't seem to be any validate() kind of methods on 
either of these 2 classes). 

Can someone please clarify? If I am going to use the get/post method, what is 
the name of the params to pass (Is ?username=xyz&password=abc ok?)

Thanks for your help.
