I see, that's good to know.  Thanks for the quick response!

Cheers,

Since CAS 3, lt tickets haven't been needed.  We're using Spring Web
Flow which manages ensuring the flow isn't restarted.  We extended
Spring Web Flow so that its internal id matched the name "lt" purely for
backwards compatibility.  Since CAS no longer generates the "lt", the
size is controlled by Web Flow.  I can look into the Web Flow APIs to
see if we can control the size but for all intents and purposes, newer
versions of CAS don't require the lt in the same way that CAS2 did.

    Hi cas-users,

    I'm currently upgrading a CAS instance from version 3.3.5 to
    3.4.2.1, and have noticed a change to the format of the login
    tickets (ie, the hidden field "lt" in the login form which is used
    to prevent replaying credentials).

    Previously they were nice and long (76 characters) and looked pretty
    random.  But since upgrading I'm getting very short login tickets
    generated, and they always follow the same pattern: "e1s1", "e2s1",
    "e3s1" etc.  The CAS protocol states they should be
    "probabilistically unique" which these are not.

    I'm not familiar with the spring framework used by CAS, so I'm not
    sure sure where to start looking.  I have verified this happens with
    an uncustomised maven build of 3.4.2.1.  Is this intentional, or a bug?

    Cheers,
    Tim
