Reset TGT Timeout from client

[Scott Battaglia]

Its pretty much impossible to do (by design) unless you give the TGT a
public identifier such that you could reference it or you expose its
identifier to the client applications (very bad).  The actual TGT identifier
is a "secret" meaning its stored securely in the browser and only passed to
the CAS application over SSL.  Other than that we don't have a mechanism in
place (again, by design) to reference the TGT.
