SSOTicket
Single Sign On tickets are tickets representing a particular user's single sign on session with CAS. They are TicketGrantingTickets but they are not DerivedTickets because their origin is not from another CAS ticket. They are not derived from another of the CAS 3 Ticket Domain Model tickets. Rather, they are derived from something external to the ticket domain model: the presentation and authentication of primary credentials.
