Hmm, that would be very strange and very bad. That doesn't happen for us. The 
only additional step I take is a call to response.flushBuffer() after 
sendredirect().
Are you sure you have the first user logged in the second time around? In case 
you haven't, you should turn logs and watch CAS state that a ticket was issued 
for the user2 for service <whatever>.

Subject: CAS Logout question Followup 2


Hi Ted:
 
Yes, I am using Yale CAS client. I am login in to a webapp but not going to 
another webapp. I just logout and the second user, who is signing on to the 
same webapp through my machine, does get challenged. However, after the second 
user passes it, he/she is into the webapp but with my permissions. All 
indications are the user logged on to my webapp. I thought when I sign off
 
         session.invalidate();
         response.sendRedirect("https://xxxx/logout";);
and close the browser, the new user should not be on my session that was 
already invalidated and logged out of.
 
Thanks for your suggestion.
 
Sincerely
Ram

Ram,
I guess you are using the Yale CAS client. If that is so, I think the behavior 
you describe is how it works. You login to a webapp and navigate to another 
webapp unchallenged. Then you logout of second webapp successfully by dstroying 
thee session an redirecting to CAS logut url. However your session with the 
first webapp is still valid because no one destroyed that session. Hence, you 
will be able to simple navigate back to the first webapp unchallenged. Thats 
how it works for us. Thats also one of the reasons why we are moving to version 
3 of the client which supports the single logout feature.

Hope that helps.

If you also want to end the CAS SSO Session, then you redirect to
CAS/logout after the Application Session is invalidated.   Clear?   In
a general Enterprise SSO deployment, you would not redirect to
CAS/logout, since this would defeat the purpose of SSO.

>From your example, it sounds like may still have the first users
Application Session active...which would be true if you only did a
CAS/logout.
 
         session.invalidate();
         response.sendRedirect("https://xxxx/logout";);
 
In my app module, after a login, I check

            userId = 
(String)session.getAttribute("edu.yale.its.tp.cas.client.filter.user");
 
Although the first user signed off, and the second userid signed on, here it 
still brings back the first userid. 
 
Thanks
Ram
