Description
The current CAS sso-login consists in clicking a "CAS" button on the login page.
This behaviour shall not be changed, but an additional route under the CAS Plugin path could easily auto-login the user by initiating a redirect, instead of waiting for the user to click a button on the login page.

Research direction
Inspect the CAS Plugin path and the existing sso-login flow first. Add a separate route that initiates the CAS redirect while preserving the current login-page button behavior, then verify both entry points work as intended.
