How to check if user is authenticated with CAS server?

Question

I need to check if user is authenticated in the system in a PHP application that is not a PHPCas client. Does the RubyCAS server provide API for this? How do you make secure communication in this case?

The solution to the problem is the gateway feature of the CAS protocol. This feature will redirect a user to a CAS server so that the user’s browser can be authenticated via the initial ticket-granting cookie given to it the first time the user submitted credentials. If the ticket-granting cookie is found, then the CAS server will redirect the user back to the app without having to re-enter credentials.
