Well, of course client can directly query the directory. However it removes all usefulness of passing attributes via SAML response.
I suggest this behavior: During user session CAS stores urls of all services that were given service tickets (this urls are used in single sign out). Maybe they could also be used when user details on CAS are updated. Everything that is required is to make up xml message format and parse it on service side (all required client infrastructure will already be created in implementation of client single sign out support). 2007/9/27, Scott Battaglia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Marat, > > Currently the design is that the CAS server sends the attributes to the CAS > client.
