We authenticate with CAS server and sessions expires after some time. This is no problem with the admin UI which will redirect you back to the login page to re-authenticate when you click on a link. However, this is not the case with the Lite UI, I will usually get a message box telling me that the XML request failed. If I re-authenticate using the Admin UI and go back in the Lite UI and do the same task, everything is back to normal. I believe this is because of the Ajax behind. It would be nice if there was a way to have a re-authentication (refresh the page maybe ? I think you need a new webrequest to have the app redirect you to the login page).

> I'm not 100% sure about how CAS works, but I believe the app servers detects that the CAS ticket is expired and sends a redirect (302) to the login page. I believe the problem with the Lite UI is that the AJAX request inside a page won't do a "regular" HTTP request and javascript might not handle the redirect properly (if it was sent with these type of request).

> If I do a request for the Lite UI home page directly I am prompted by the login page. The problem is when I try to do an action inside the page when the session is expired.
