You have impact on CAS behaviour in this area by changing the CAS cookies'
path and / or domain. I have changed the cookie path already for special
requirements of one of my customers, but I don't now in the moment, if there
is a way in the large and sometimes magic spring configuration of CAS to
change / configure the domain also. In fact, I found, that you can configure
the cookie path, but this configuration is overridden hard coded in a Java
class. So I had to replace the class by a new, own class extending the
original one :-o).


The class that automatically sets the path can be removed from the web
flow.  It does not need to be over-ridden. Its a convenience for those who
don't wish to set it manually.  Cookie path's are actually set in the Spring
configuration file and are completely change-able.

Regardless, CAS does not need cookie modification to work with multiple
domains.  Out of the box, CAS will work with multiple domains without any
modifications.

For those curious as to how this works, the CAS protocol documents describe
the interaction between the browser, the CAS server, and the application
requesting authentication.

If necessary, I can look in my source code, where to do this.



Please think about the requirement of really independent domain(names). If
there is on application provider (your customer), it should be possible, to
organize the application - servers in sub domains. Then you should be able
to configure or set cookie path and domain for CAS cookies to be visible in
all (sub)domains.



Hopefully, you have only to handle various sub domains.



Wish, that this info gives a little help for you.

 Jean,

As stated before, CAS works out of the box across all domains.  You don't
need to do anything to make the CAS work across domains.

This question seems to have come up several times. I wonder if CAS needs
an addition to the documentation labeled "features", or expansion of the
overview section to include an explicit mention that CAS supports
cross-domain SSO. Perhaps also an explicit list of the backing
authentication providers supported out of the box, and things like SPNEGO,
SAML, other support.



Thoughts?

Jason
