CAS: N-Tier SSO Solution

[Swanand Pagnis]

Hi,

I am facing a peculiar problem here, which many of you might have solved in
the past.
I beg your pardon for being a little verbose.

Situation:
1. I have deployed CAS Server 3.2 on a server.
2. I have some n other servers which host k different applications, most of
them in PHP.
3. I have casified the apps, by copying the respective phpCAS libraries on
the server and making the app understand data set by CAS php files.
4. Lets say i have A1, A2 and A3 apps on server A, abd B1, B2, B3 on server
B ( A and B are both apache httpd)
5. When I try to access A1 for the first time, I am redirected to CAS login,
where I log in, and I a m sent back to A1, where I am logged in.
6. From the same client when I try to log onto A2, casPHP lib see that I
have logged in, and I am directly granted access to A2, and subsequently A3
as well.
7. Now I try to access B1 from the same client, but this time I am not
recognized as a valid user, and i am sent back to CAS login screen, where I
have to log in again. This creates an unnecessary extra session on CAS
server.


Is there a way around this?

Thank you,
Swanand
