Yes, but this would invalidate the ticket based upon user activity, not a 
time period.  I hope I'm not missing something.

Thanks

You could but its not necessary because once the ticket itself is expired 
the cookie is invalid (as an attempt to retrieve the ticket by id would 
fail) and the next time you log in the old cookie would be replaced.

Yeah, that's what we were thinking.  For a true inactivity invalidation, 
we may have to employ some sort of agent or supplicant on the client 
workstations that clear the SSO cookie. 

Thanks.

The cookie is merely a pointer to the actual Ticket.  Expiring the ticket 
has the same affect as expiring the cookie and its actually easier to do. 
You only other option is to modify the login flow itself to check the 
cookie.

Thanks for your reply. 

We are looking for a way to invalidate the SSO Cookie if the user has not 
had any keyboard/mouse activity (or at a miminum, browser activity) for a 
set amount of time.  So this is more of an inactivity time for the user 
rather than an expiration time for the ticket.

Nick,

CAS supports the notion of Expiration Policies.  Example policies include 
# of uses or "a ticket is only valid for X amount of time."  You can write 
an "inactivity policy" and configure CAS to use that.

Are there any hooks into determining a user's inactivity on his machine to 
invalidate the SSO token?
