Question:
Better handling of logout process for SAML webApps.
Solution:
With the release of 6.4.1.24, we have enhanced our logout support for SAML applications. Previously we used a preset URL for the logout process when loging out of the application.
Now, as of 6.4.1.24, customer's can set the logout URL to the application vendor's suggested URL. When the URL matches the one the vendor suggests, the two sides of the application negotiate how UW should respond when a user logs out of the application.
The admin will need to discuss with the application vendor, what the proper Logout URL should be. This URL is commonly set/provided in the application's metadata.
Once the URL is known:
- Open webAdmin
- Expand Applcations Admin
- Select the SAML webApp's object
- Enter the Logout URL into the Logout URL field, on the Properties tab
- Click the Save button to save the change
The UW relays will eventually reload the webApp with the updated configuration.
