I have a question about whether or not a CAS ticket can be
intercepted, and whether anyone thinks that is a problem.

I am using the JavaClient 3.1.  If a user navigates to
http://www.cas-protected-service.com/, the user is redirected to the
CAS log in page, and asked to log in.  After the user is
authenticated, there ultimately is a browser redirect to the following
url: http://www.cas-protected-service.com/?ticket=ST-some-cas-ticket.
Now - if I intercept this URL before this ticket is validated, and
type it in on another browser with a different session, the new
browser is validating this ticket and allowing me access to the page
as the previously authenticated user.

Is there something I am doing wrong, or is this the expected behavior?
 Should the CAS client code check session cookies to make sure that
the same client is validating the ticket?

My web.xml exactly follows that of the example in the wiki.  I'm not
doing anything strange.

Thanks in advance.

Robert
