Thank you for your bug/patch submission. I fixed this is 3.x and master, but went about it slightly differently. In short, the fix moves CommonUtils.readAndRespondToProxyReceptorRequest into CasAuthenticationFilter.attemptAuthentication. This makes sense since the CAS server is authenticating that the proxy url is valid (i.e. it exists and the SSL handshake succeeds). It also allows the FilterChain to not be processed by returning a null Authentication.

Thanks Rob I now will be able to remove my workaround.
Like you said, the fix has been backported to 3.0.x (commit ece824f) so I guess this issue needs to also be marked as fixed for version 3.0.6.

Good catch....I have updated the fix version

I configured spring-security-cas in my webapp for generating proxy tickets.
During ticket validation we provide a pgtUrl parameter and then the CAS server tries to connect to our webapp (using the configured proxyReceptorUrl) to determine is this URL is a valid end-point but it result in a 404 because the request is passed trough the servlet but is not handled (because no controller is mapped for this URL).
If we set the grails.plugins.springsecurity.rejectIfNoRule parameter [1] to true or if I mark this proxy receptor URL with the role "IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED" then it works:
This works because the CAS server is not strict about the expected XML fragment, only the a proper status code is mandatory [2].
Current workaround is to create a controller for this URL with anonymous access and always respond with a 200 and some text.
I believe this issue is not related to Grails and may impact any webapp using spring-security-cas and wanting to generate proxy tickets. Furthermore, the default behaviour in cas-client [3] is already to stop processing the request once it has been handled by the Cas20ProxyReceivingTicketValidationFilter [3].
