cas protocol behind an F5

[Niva Agmon]

Applied Unicon's hazelcast and things look a little better, but still there is one CAS client that basically works only with one node and gets authorization denied when I fail over to the other node. 
I enabled hazelcast for both idp.session.StorageService & idp.cas.StorageService

The other issue with Hazelcast is that It throws exceptions when Tomcat is shutdown - looks like it's a timeout condition, but am not sure where it is setup -

This is our Hazelcast configuration:

Have you looked at Unicon's hazelcast storage backend? We've been using that since June and found it very reliable for clustering. It's currently an extra add-on but I think Scott is looking at possibly including it in the next release.
