Thank you for responding.
If my application times out before CAS times out, then will CAS ask me to 
reauthenticate when I attempt to access a protected page? I need to somehow get 
CAS to ask me to reauthenticate when I want it to. How can I achieve this?

Thanks.

Application sessions are independent of CAS sessions.  You would need to set 
the session timeout in your application's web.xml.

Hello all,


I am attempting to implement inactivity timeout.


I set the value of session-timeout in CAS web.xml and expected the session to 
timeout after the specified period of time. I expected any attempt to access 
the webapp after the timeout to take the user to the login page and after 
successful re-authentication, to the originally requested page. However, this 
isn't hapenning. The timeout doesn't seem to take effect at all. What am I 
missing? What does the session-timeout value represent- number of minutes after 
which session will timeout regardless of user activity or number of minutes 
session will timeout after last user activity? I tried and the session doesn't 
timeout either way.


 

Alternatively, if the above doesn't work, I was planning to invalidate the 
session by calling session.invalidate( ) after my webapp detects a timeout (it 
does this). That I believe will force CAS to re-authenticate the user.


 

Suggestions?

 

Thanks
