JASIG CAS: single sign out not working

I have single sign on working beautifully, but single sign-out is not working.

The scenario is like this:

  1. Open webapp1 and get redirected to CAS login page
  2. Enter details and login
  3. Open webapp2 which also uses CAS. Automatically logs in, as the user already signed in.
  4. Log out of webapp1
  5. Try to open webapp1 or webapp2 (in another tab) redirects you back to the login page.
  6. However, the session to webapp2 in step 3 is not closed and the user can still use the application without any problems. How do I automatically invalidate the session when the user signs out?

The log off button for both applications first call session.invalidate() and then redirects to https://localhost:8443/cas/logout

The single sign out filter is the first filter in the web.xml file. I also have the SingleSignOutHttpSessionListener in web.xml.

Following is the extract from my web.xml

<!-- CAS settings -->
<!-- Use filter init-param if your container does not support context params. 
    CAS Authentication Filter and CAS Validation Filter need a serverName init-param 
    in lieu of a context-param definition. -->
<context-param>
    <param-name>serverName</param-name>
    <param-value>https://localhost:8443</param-value>
</context-param>

  <!-- Facilitates CAS single sign-out -->
  <listener>
        <listener-class>org.jasig.cas.client.session.SingleSignOutHttpSessionListener</listener-class>
  </listener>

  <!--

  Single sign-out filter MUST come first since it needs to be evaluated
  before other filters.

                    (1s) and at least one person had problems with drift at that small a tolerance 
                    value. A good approach is to start low and then increase by 1000 as needed 
                    until problems stop. Note that increasing this value may have negative security 
                    implications. Consider fixing clock drift problems as an alternative. -->

You should verify that the CAS server can send a HTTP request to your webapp. Have a look in the logs of the CAS server.

I had the same problem. We had a java and a php client. When I went to http://mycasserver/logout only the java client logged out.

For the single sign out to work in the php client, you have to change:

phpCAS::handleLogoutRequests();

for

phpCAS::handleLogoutRequests(false);

And Voila! Refer to the documentation at phpCAS examples

I also had another issue with standard CAS protocol, where single sign-out worked on an integration server but not from localhost.

Scenario

  • log into both http://my-app-dev/app and http://localhost:8080/app with CAS on http://my-cas/cas
  • log out of CAS http://my-cas/cas/logout
  • http://my-app-dev/app now bounces me to CAS
  • http://localhost:8080 - still logged in!

I suspect the reason is the CAS server couldn't send a sign-out message to localhost:8080 because localhost is resolved in the CAS server's context, so it doesn't actually talk to my local dev environment.

If you're using SAML 1.1 protocol be sure that you included the artifactParameterName parameter

https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASC/Configuring+Single+Sign+Out

<filter>
   <filter-name>CAS Single Sign Out Filter</filter-name>
   <filter-class>org.jasig.cas.client.session.SingleSignOutFilter</filter-class>
   <init-param>
      <param-name>artifactParameterName</param-name>
      <param-value>SAMLart</param-value>
   </init-param>
</filter>

I've had basically the same configuration for my application before I switched to the spring configuration. I had a look on the SVN and basically the only difference to your config is the use of the Single Sign Out Listener

listener>
    <listener-class>org.jasig.cas.client.session.SingleSignOutHttpSessionListener</listener-class>
</listener>

Could this work for you? Of course don't forget to add it on both WebApps if it works.

UPDATE: I found the description of the listener in the docs, and it should do what's missing in your setting
