David,

 

Did you configure your Ticket Granting Ticket cookie to be in a domain
that both servers can see it?  Open your cas-servlet.xml file and look
for the ticketGrantingTicketCookieGenerator bean and make sure the
domain is specified like so:

 

<bean

id="ticketGrantingTicketCookieGenerator"

class="org.jasig.cas.web.support.CookieRetrievingCookieGenerator"

p:cookieDomain="example.edu"

p:cookieSecure="true"

p:cookieMaxAge="-1"

p:cookieName="CASTGC"

p:cookiePath="/cas" />

 

HTH,

Subject: Re: cas clustering with jbossCacheTicketRegistry

 

Hi Lucas,
   I'm actually using cas-server 3.0.7+ tomcat 5.5 too.  I followed the
cas clustering guide
like the bible and I believe I have all components (e.g. ticket
uniqueness, tomcat session replication, 
& jboss ticket registry) implemented correctly.  Is there info in the
catalina log that indicate 
my CASes are sharing session info?  

Here is an example of what I'm seeing in my logs when Tomcat loads up.
I believe this indicates
that the sessions are replicated,

Sep 12, 2007 11:52:13 PM
org.apache.catalina.cluster.session.DeltaManager getAllClusterSessions
WARNING: Manager [/cas], requesting session state from
org.apache.catalina.cluster.mcast.McastMember[tcp://192.168.1.112:4001,c
atalina,192.168.1.112,4001, alive=100159]. This operation will timeout
if no session state has been received within 60 seconds. 
Sep 12, 2007 11:52:13 PM
org.apache.catalina.cluster.session.DeltaManager waitForSendAllSessions
INFO: Manager [/cas]; session state send at 9/12/07 11:52 PM received in

Hi David,

(Keep in mind I have not does this with 3.1 yet, so this is for 3.0.7
[it may be different for 3.1].)

The session information about a logged in user is not replicated
using the JBossCacheTicketRegistry -- this is for the service ticket 
registry. The problem you are experiencing is because the session
information from CAS1 is not being replicated to CAS2. Have you
implemented the Tomcat session replication part? If you are using
Tomcat, see the section labeled "Tomcat Session Replication" in the 
clustering documentation.
