[cas-dev] ticketGrantingTicketCookieGenerator cookieDomain setting in clustered environment

[Lee Braddock]

Scott,

 

I am unclear as to why I would need to set the bean id
ticketGrantingTicketCookieGenerator cookieDomain when running cas in a
clustered environment (as is stated by this wiki page:
http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASUM/Clustering+CAS).

 

If the load balancer that 'fronts' the cluster sends the http response
with the same domain name regardless of which cas server clustered node
provided the response, would not the browser set the cookie domain to
the correct value by default (i.e. without our having to set it, as in
above)?  And would not the browser then always send that cookie back to
that domain from whence it came, specifically the load balancer itself
and then, in turn, onto some cas server node in the cluster?

 

Please clarify.

 

Thanks.
