I developed a patch for this over a year ago, but apparently lost the
source. I still have the VMs lying around where I did the QA work so
maybe the source is on there. The OVA is available here:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bw8LSvcVZrEvWlUzTDdBX0hJbFU

I had intended to provide this as a proof-of-concept for a VM-in-a-box
solution for CAS, but haven't had the time to develop further.

First, it's a hard problem and any solution has fundamental
weaknesses. Please do some research on the many difficulties with
distributed single sign-out; there are many discussions on this topic
in the cas-user list archives as well as the Shibboleth user list.

Second, work has clearly been done. I'd encourage you to spend some
energy collaborating with our community to develop and test a solution
that is suitable for general use. It's far more productive than
lamenting lack of features.
