"mode=login" can be used to force an immediate login attempt, but  
does not alter the underlying protocol or security, and is not  
required.  HC automatically redirects to CAS when a page needs  
authentication, so everything is secure.

That looks right to me, I would suggest checking the various logs for

The handshake is the same either way; you don't need the dashboard  
portlet if you are manually putting links in other content.

repository.  I should have removed that from CVS a long time ago, sorry!
