Using CAS with a desktop application

Hello.

I would like to implement a SSO in my environment.

Currently my users use Windows XP, and all authenticate against a Microsoft Active Directory.

We have an intranet, with its own user/password. We solve the need of entering the credentials each day by saving the cookie.

So we have a pseudo SSO, because when a user log into his Windows, he don't need to enter again the password to access the intranet.

But we have a self-developed desktop application, which works against a centralized DB server. That application requires an user/password everytime you use it (the credentials are stored in the DB server).

I would like to use CAS in all our web applications, and use Kerberos/SPNEGO to have a truly SSO, but what can I do with the desktop application?

Is there anyway to make the desktop application to use the CAS ticket, or CAS cookie to achieve complete SSO?

Thanks in advance.
