Ganesh,

Was the place where the name was displayed a CAS page or was it the client 
application?

Was it the same browser (after User1 logged out)?

Were both users active at the same time, perhaps behind a common router?

Hi all,

This is a serious issue, and I think it may have something to do with caching.

I have a user (say User1), who logs into CAS using delegated authentication 
against an external IdP using pac4j.

I have another user (say User2), who belongs to a different organisation, and 
who logs into CAS using a local LDAP username and password.

Today, User2 logged in and saw User1's name displayed on the screen. I assume 
that the rest of the profile (based on the SAML token) was also that of User1. 
Needless to say, this is a serious issue.

The problem could not be reproduced, but we have screenshots that prove that 
User2 did see User1's name on screen. They had no idea such a user even existed 
until they saw it on screen.

Any ideas why this could be happening? Is there a simple setting to turn off 
caching somewhere? I'm hoping it's something as simple as that.

Regards,
Ganesh
