Tomcat's default value for maxPostSize is 2097152, so that's "normal." ( https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/config/http.html)
Tomcat's default value for maxHttpHeaderSize is 8192 (see same link, above), but the CAS documentation for configuring the server as a SAML2 IdP recommends setting it to 2097152 as well, so that's probably why it is that way. ( https://apereo.github.io/cas/development/installation/Configuring-SAML2-Authentication.html#server-configuration ) I would guess that if you're not using the SAML2 IdP functionality, you could put maxHttpHeaderSize back down to 8192 or whatever, but as they say, YMMV. --Dave -- DAVID A.
