Hi Amanda,

The CasAuthenticationModule is essentially passive.  Just as with Forms
Auth without the CAS client, the Forms Authentication timeout property and
the slidingExpiration property are the only things that would affect the
authenticated state of a user over time.

Forms Authentication will generally redirect to the login page when the
user attempts to navigate to a URL or invoke a service that requires
authentication or where the user isn't authorized to access the resource.
 Do you have any kinds of AJAX calls going on behind the scenes, most
likely ones that are running on a timer?  Anothing thing to look into is
whether it's specific to particular browsers.   By any chance, is your site
generating lots of cookies unrelated to authentication?

Also, keep in mind that session state and forms authentication are
separate.  If you are using the Session to store security-related
information, you should invalidate the forms authentication ticket when the
session expires or is terminated and vice-versa.
