<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apereo.cas</groupId>
    <artifactId>cas-server-support-redis-ticket-registry</artifactId>
    <version>${cas.version}</version>
</dependency>

This registry stores tickets in one or more Redis instances. The spring data redis library used by this component presents Redis as a key/value store that accepts String keys and CAS ticket objects as values. The key is started with CAS_TICKET:.

Configuration

Eviction Policy

Redis manages the internal eviction policy of cached objects via its time-alive settings. The timeout is the ticket’s timeToLive value. So you need to ensure the cache is alive long enough to support the individual expiration policy of tickets, and let CAS clean the tickets as part of its own cleaner if necessary.
