Hi Karthi,

As Steffi pointed out, this is entirely expected behaviour when there is a valid authentication token available in the client (an SPNego token in this case). After log off the user is directed to the logon page, where the client again sends the SPNego token to the server, authenticating the user again. To the end-user it appears that log off has failed, when really in the background the user has authenticated again. This isn't an issue in SPNego authentication itself, it can occur for other authentication scenarios too.

Hello Karthi,

so you're logged on again in the portal or am I missunderstanding you?

Please try with the add "?spnego=disabled" in your portal url. Like this: http://<url>:<port>/irj/portal?spnego=disabled

Close all browser-windows for this.

Are you getting the login-page now? If yes, it's the SSO of the portal redirecting (are better re-login you ^^).

Steffi.

Thanks for the reply steffi.

yes you are correct after the logoff im again logged in to the portal.

I tried with adding "?spnego=disabled" in the portal url and im getting the login page now.

So now what needs to be done to make the logoff work.

Kinldy provide the solution.

Well... since you have SSO activated it seems to be wanted that you are logged on automatically in the portal.

I don't know if there is a way for this. To use SSO, but that SSO is not kicking in when you click on "Logout".

Thanks steffi for the response.

I have not worked on SSO so far so no idea how to proceed further
