Hi, Marvin, thanks for your reply.

Is the problematic service load balanced?  You have to take additional
steps to ensure single sign-out in that case.


No, it isn't.

I would appreciate if you could clarify your reasoning for calling
this situation a "big security hole."  Based on what you've described,
I don't see a big security hole.  I believe it's well documented that
single sign-out is a best effort feature that should not be relied
upon to succeed in all cases.  While it is possible to configure
services to receive sign-out messages in all but a vanishingly few
cases (e.g. network connectivity; CAS does not retry the sign-out
message), relying on a feature that is subject to network vagaries is
unwise from a security policy perspective.

Well, it's a security issue for us since a user could log in as the previous user. I don't think it's a network issue, since both apps and CAS are all on the same host, so I think it could be a configuration problem of some sort.
