Hello

I have a problem when someone uses an URL with an old or invalid ticket to 
access the application. I think that this is a common problem but I 
couldn't find clues to solve it.

The service settings uses the default :
  "responseType": "REDIRECT"

Other choices (POST, HEADER) seem not to work well for me. REDIRECT works 
very well, all is fine, there is even a single-sign-out, with only one 
issue.

When the browser goes back to the application after authentication, the URL 
includes the ticket : ?ticket=ST-260-FX8wq79ZjsYs...

The problem is that if this URL is reused when the ticket is outdated, the 
user gets a 401 error.

État HTTP 401 – Non authorisé
Type Rapport d'état
message Ticket 'ST-260-FX8wq79ZjsYs...' not recognized
description La requête nécessite une authentification HTTP.

This may happen for instance if a user bookmarks the URL, or goes back in 
his browser history, etc. I see this often.

The application runs under Tomcat. There is a valve that does the 
authentication and puts the principal in the session's data.

<Valve
    className="org.jasig.cas.client.tomcat.v90.Cas20CasAuthenticator"
    encoding="UTF-8"
    casServerLoginUrl="https://.../cas/login";
    casServerUrlPrefix="https://.../cas/";
    serverName="..."
 />

How can I avoid that the token is in the final URL, or manage the 401 error 
in order to redirect the flow to the CAS login instead of showing the error 
?

Thank you.
Michael
