I have Spring Security set up to use CasAutheticationProvider to provide a
UserDetails object.

I did find an example that uses the SecurityContext to obtain an
Authentication object and grab the UserDetails from there. I am not sure how
to get access to the populated SecurityContext since
SecurityContextHolder.getContext() is returning an empty SecurityContext and
I am not sure if that is the best way to access the user.

an Action

What mechanism are you using to handle authentication/authorization?
