We are experiencing a 5 minute session timeout after users login to our Elucian Banner system via CAS. We think it's an issue in Banner, but wanted to see if anyone else has come across the issue.  

It only seems to occur when the user already has an existing CAS SSO session (TGT cookie), and not if they are starting a new login from CAS when going into Banner.

Here is how we are able to replicate the issue:

1) User logs into a CAS-enabled application (other than Banner)
2) User goes into Banner via its SSO URL (this will redirect to CAS, which sends a 302 back with a ticket)
3) After no activity in Banner for 5 minutes the user returns and refreshes the page. A popup that says "Session Timeout Occurred" is displayed to the user.

We have SLO disabled in our CAS instance (due to previous issues with it automatically logging out Blackboard users).

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Adam,

Is the TGC still active, that is can you access a third CAS SSO enabled application?
Check CAS logs to see if Banner is sending a logout request to CAS.
If the TGC is still alive, then it must be a Banner config.

I am not far enough along in CAS setup to poke at Banner and provide more detail.

Try this change, and then repackage and redeploy the CAS war:


modify the value of CAS's web.xml file, change the default timeout to 2 hours

  <session-config>
    <!-- Default to 5 minute session timeouts -->
    <session-timeout>120</session-timeout>
  </session-config>
