RE: CAS ask me for authentication everytime

Fri, 07 Jul 2006 00:51:25 -0700

Clinton, I have been a couple of days without visiting the Acegi forum, because I wasn’t getting any help and it seemed to be related with CAS rather than with Acegi.

 

I’m using IE version 6.0.2900.2180 and Firefox 1.5.0.4.

 

I had noticed that using Firefox I could open different tabs (or even new browsers) and I was already authenticated. However, I only have one CAS application (client), and the browsers were sharing the same session ID, so Acegi didn’t redirect me to CAS authentication because, from the application’s point of view, all the browsers are the same client. I couldn’t try it with different applications, but I guess the browsers would share the same session cookie (until you close all) because that seems to be the behaviour for Firefox.

 

IE bug? I don’t know, but maybe it is just a design decision (share the session cookies between browser instances or not) and they have changed its point of view in IE 7 (BTW, did you try with differents tabs or different browsers?) I don’t think the behaviour about session cookies when you have several browser instances is specified in any RFC or something like that…

 

Best regards,

 

Jose Luis.

Asunto: CAS ask me for authentication everytime

 

Jose,

I left a message for you in the Acegi forum but I guess you haven't been
back there since you weren't getting any help.  I'd like to know what browser
you are using.  I have two server installations using version 2.0.12 and version 3.0.4.
When I use IE 6.2800.1106 and IE 6.0.2900.2180 the sso fails.  But when I use
Firefox 1.5.0.4 and IE 7.0 beta 3 it works fine.  In the cases where this fails,
it seems that the browser is not setting the cookie.

I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this behaviour?  The important
point is the same server configuration is providing different results
for different browsers.  Jose seems to have gotten past this problem
by changing his server configuration but aren't we overlooking
a possible bug in IE?

Any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Clinton
