Description

Description:

CAS has a functionality for SSO (Single Sign Out) that currently does not support Rocket Chat.
When you leave the CAS session, it sends a post to all services related to that user with the corresponding service ticket so that the application can close the session related to the ticket.

Server Setup Information:

Rocket.Chat Version: 0.58.2
NodeJS Version: 4.8.4 - x64
Platform: linux
Process Port: 3000
ReplicaSet OpLog: Disabled
Commit Hash: 988103d449
Commit Branch: HEAD

Expected behavior:

Rocket Chat have to handle the post from CAS and destroy the user session asociated to the service ticket received.

Research direction

Start by locating Rocket.Chat's existing CAS SSO integration and session-handling entry points. Review how CAS sends the service ticket and how Rocket.Chat associates tickets with sessions. Done means a CAS single-logout request can identify and destroy the corresponding user session, with verification for the expected request flow.
