Ah, thanks for the explanation. I should change the session-timeout in CAS
/web.xml file back to 5 minutes (I have that at 60 minutes now).
Thanks for your time. Appreciate the help.

The Service Expiration Policy is the expiration policy for the one-time use
tickets given to applications. They have a timeout or a valid number of uses
(1).
The Tomcat Session is literally for the Tomcat session of the CAS server that
gets created when you go through the login flow to enter your credentials
(which is why its so short).

Scott,
Thanks for the clarification. So, that would mean variable #2 in my list below.
Let me try that. Maybe I missed it while trying out the many combinations.
So, what do #1 and #3 control?
Thanks.

If you want to control the Single Sign On Session you need to modify the
granting ticket expiration policy. The Tomcat sessions have nothing to do with
your SSO session.

I am really confused about session timeouts. I see the following 4 variables
that are configurable-
1. In ApplicationContext.xml, the second argument for
"serviceTicketExpirationPolicy" Bean
2. In the same file, the first (and only) argument for
"grantingTicketExpirationPolicy" Bean
3. In web.xml for CAS webapp, the "session-timeout" entry
4. In tomcat's web.xml (under /conf), the "<session-config>
<session-timeout>...." entry
I assumed just setting #3 above would control the timeout. That doesn't seem
like it. So, I have been trying combinations and the one that worked is setting
#2 AND #4 to the same value. Is that right or am I missing something here? I am
using 3.06 server.
Also, by session timeout, I mean- I login and keep working. I walk away for 30
minutes (say) after I make my last request, I come back and try to access some
CAS protected page. I should be asked to login again.
Your thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks.
