Timeout problems

[tedzo]

Scott,
Thanks for the clarification. So, that would mean variable #2 in my list below. Let me try that. Maybe I missed it while trying out the many combinations.

So, what do #1 and #3 control?

Thanks.

If you want to control the Single Sign On Session you need to modify the granting ticket expiration policy.  The Tomcat sessions have nothing to do with your SSO session.

I am really confused about session timeouts. I see the following 4 variables that are configurable-

1. In ApplicationContext.xml, the second argument for "serviceTicketExpirationPolicy" Bean
2. In the same file, the first (and only) argument for "grantingTicketExpirationPolicy" Bean
3. In web.xml for CAS webapp, the "session-timeout" entry
4. In tomcat's web.xml (under /conf), the "<session-config> <session-timeout>...." entry

I assumed just setting #3 above would control the timeout. That doesn't seem like it. So, I have been trying combinations and the one that worked is setting #2 AND #4 to the same value. Is that right or am I missing something here? I am using 3.06 server. 

Also, by session timeout, I mean- I login and keep working. I walk away for 30 minutes (say) after I make my last request, I come back and try to access some CAS protected page. I should be asked to login again.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks.
