Hi all,

I have noticed that there are several places to tune different timeout
parameters.
I am using mod_cas_auth as a Cas client and there are two configurable
directive (/etc/apache2/httpd.conf):

*Directive*: CASTimeout
*Default*: 7200 (2 hours)
*Description*: This is the hard limit, in seconds, for a mod_auth_cas
session (whether
it is idle or not). When a session has reached this age and a new
request is made, the user is redirected to the CASLoginURL to
obtain a new service ticket. When this new ticket is validated,
they will be assigned a new mod_auth_cas session.

*Directive*: CASIdleTimeout
*Default*: 3600 (1 hour)
*Description*: This is a limit, in seconds, of how long a mod_auth_cas
session can be idle.
When a request comes in, if it has been inactive for CASIdleTimeout
seconds, the user is redirected to the CASLoginURL to obtain a new
service ticket

I can also configure timeout parameters on Cas itself, in the
'ticketExpirationPolicies.xml'.
I guess that the xml option is wider and I can configure more sets of
timeout parameters.

But regarding those two I can configure on /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, are
there similar configurations on 'ticketExpirationPolicies.xml'?
Which one is being enforced?

Basically I want to set Idle connection timeout to 4 hours (have it
redirected to logout screen afterwards) and *not to have a hard limit
timeout at all,*
whatis the most suitable way of doing it?

Is there a way to set CASTimeout to "never" (setting it to '-1' or '0' does
not seem to work).

Thanks!!
