"Service ticket", not "session ticket". Sorry. /Fredrik

The TGT is the token which authenticates the user to the CAS server itself, after initial sign in. It is used to get session tickets for individual services with which a user can authenticate to the services. Thus, the TGT does not have to be exposed to any other service than the CAS server (if configured properly) which is a matter of security. The service registry validates which services are allowed to use the CAS server for ticket validation, but that is only by checking the URL passed as a service parameter, no tickets are involved. /Fredrik -- Fredrik Jönsson, M.Sc.

The TGT says user is authenticated. The ST says this service is allowed to use CAS for user authentication. Every service that wants to use CAS must be registered in the CAS services database.

Why is there a need for service ticket, it has to be validated every time a service is requested through CAS? If user has a valid TGT, why would CAS server ever deny him trying to access a service?
