[DO] That setting will ensure that the user doesn’t get a login screen.  You 
will get a ticket if there is an SSO session established at CAS and not if 
there isn't.

[DO] mod_auth_cas is CAS client (where client = agent in CAS terminology) that 
runs as an apache module.   It is an alternative to the other cas clients such 
as the Java Cas Client, the spring CAS client and the php cas client.  It won't 
solve this issue.

The first thing you really need to decide is what behavior you want.  If you 
want the client's SSO session to be extended by the activity of any CAS 
protected application, then you need to do something on the application to keep 
the session alive.  CAS has no idea what accesses are happening on the 
application and can't extend its session automatically based on 
application/browser activity.
