CAS Tickets

[Scott Battaglia]

Rahul,

A Ticket Granting Ticket is your "single sign on ticket" and is what allows
you to only authenticate once.  A Service Ticket is what grants you access
to a particular service (its generally a one-time-use ticket).

Clustering CAS via JDBC is do-able (and depending on your load/configuration
may not be a performance issue).  However, unless you cluster your
databases, you won't see the benefits of the clustering for reliability.
