Just FYI -
This is a known bug in certain versions of IBM Systems Director (aka CAS AGENT). Apparently it gets automatically installed on AIX 6.1 TL7. Here's a link to a blog (not mine) about how they fixed the issue (pretty much the same as suggested by chihung).
edit - I can't post URLs yet, but if you google "CAS AGENT BUG DEV NULL" it should be the first link.

AuthCAS(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation AuthCAS(3pm)
NAME
AuthCAS - Client library for CAS 2.0 authentication server
VERSION
Version 1.5
DESCRIPTION
AuthCAS aims at providing a Perl API to Yale's Central Authentication System (CAS). Only a basic Perl library is provided with CAS whereas
AuthCAS is a full object-oriented library. =head1 PREREQUISITES
This script requires IO::Socket::SSL and LWP::UserAgent
any
Network
SYNOPSIS
A simple example with a direct CAS authentication
use AuthCAS;
my $cas = new AuthCAS(casUrl => 'https://cas.myserver,
CAFile => '/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/ca-bundle.crt',
);
my $login_url = $cas->getServerLoginURL('http://myserver/app.cgi');
## The user should be redirected to the $login_url
## When coming back from the CAS server a ticket is provided in the QUERY_STRING
## $ST should contain the receaved Service Ticket
my $user = $cas->validateST('http://myserver/app.cgi', $ST);
printf "User authenticated as %s
", $user;
In the following example a proxy is requesting a Proxy Ticket for the target application
$cas->proxyMode(pgtFile => '/tmp/pgt.txt',
pgtCallbackUrl => 'https://myserver/proxy.cgi?callback=1
);
## Same as before but the URL is the proxy URL
my $login_url = $cas->getServerLoginURL('http://myserver/proxy.cgi');
## Like in the previous example we should receave a $ST
my $user = $cas->validateST('http://myserver/proxy.cgi', $ST);
## Process errors
printf STDERR "Error: %s
", &AuthCAS::get_errors() unless (defined $user);
## Now we request a Proxy Ticket for the target application
my $PT = $cas->retrievePT('http://myserver/app.cgi');
## This piece of code is executed by the target application
## It received a Proxy Ticket from the proxy
my ($user, @proxies) = $cas->validatePT('http://myserver/app.cgi', $PT);
printf "User authenticated as %s via %s proxies
", $user, join(',',@proxies);
DESCRIPTION
CAS is Yale University's web authentication system, heavily inspired by Kerberos. Release 2.0 of CAS provides "proxied credential" feature
that allows authentication tickets to be carried by intermediate applications (Portals for instance), they are called proxy.
This AuthCAS Perl module provides required subroutines to validate and retrieve CAS tickets.
