At my company we experience such issue. It is in our TODO list, as
soon as someone will have time to look into it. It's not considered as
major bug.
We have found that after successful authentication, obtaining ST from
CAS user is correctly logged to service. That's okay. But when we
restart that service, or in any other way clear it session storage we
have an situation: service cannot recognize user (no session/session
cleared) and CAS considers user as authenticated. Service redirects to
CAS, and CAS redirects back to service.
Jérôme, could you give us a hint, where is the best place to handle
this situation? Client side, or CAS core? From my point of view the
class that extends CentralAuthenticationService should take care of ST
validation. Service couldn't provide valid ST, as user don't even have
valid session. We're using CAS 3.5.2
Best regards,
Augustyn
