Losing the cipher certainly matters security-wise, yes. Replay attacks may 
be possible. So to start with:



1.       Lose the cipher, see if the issue goes way. If so, put the cipher 
back and investigate the failing factor. If not, move on.

2.       See if an externalRedirect semantic works.

3.       Manually issue a redirect in your JSP/Action/etc

Subject: [cas-user] Encrypted flow keys and redirect=true in webflow



Hello,



I'm in the middle of an upgrade to 4.2.x, however I have some problems with 
the new encrypted flow keys in CAS.



I have some extensions to the webflow for which I want to use 
redirect="true" on a view state in login-webflow:



   <view-state id="askPasswordForSocialRegistrationView" 
view="askPasswordForSocialRegistrationView" model="social" redirect="true">
      <transition to="checkPassword"/>
   </view-state>


Now if I do that I get a redirect to a very long url. It differs a bit 
(probably because the default is a compressed cipher), but it's in the range 
of 6000 - 9000 characters. That is a bit long for a redirect (at least 
Tomcat has a default maximum of 8096 characters (top of my head) before it 
will bail out).



I really need the redirect, so what are my options? Can I lose the cipher? 
Does it matter security-wise?



PS. Sorry if I double posted this to the old groups? I got a message saying 
the other (Jasig) lists were decomissioned.



Auke
