Logoff redirect not working

[kai_unewisse3]

Hi,

we need to redirect users after the logoff to a diffferent page. I found Note 696294

and added the following values:

ume.logoff.redirect.url=http://www.google.com

ume.logoff.redirect.silent=false

After a restart i logged in and logged of. as a result I got to the login page...

We are on EP 7.0 SP13.

Any thoughts ?

Regards,

Kai

Kai,

the redirect works without changing the parameter '<i>ume.logoff.redirect.silent</i>' to '<b>true</b>', only the parameter '<i>ume.logoff.redirect.url</i>' needs to be updated!

Only change parameter '<i>ume.logoff.redirect.silent</i>' to '<b>true</b>' if you want the URL to be called 'silently' in a separate window without the user seeing this process. This is typically used if you want to add a 'clean up process' to the logoff by calling an external URL without the user noticing...

Hope this clarifies.

Regards,

Joseph

Hi Joseph,

thanks for that comment. I tried both and there was no difference, but i was reading the SAP help which clarified it a little bit....

I can see the parameters in the Config tool and I restarted.....

It seemed now to work.

I am not sure why, but I assume that the parameter

ume.logoff.redirect.silent=true

was set and after a change to false the portal was not restarted...

Hello Kai,

The default value for the parameter <b>ume.logoff.redirect.silent=false</b>. Change it true

Hi Kai,

Just tested the configuration process on a NW 7.0 SPS13 release with the parameters change you indicated, and the portal redirects to the Google site URL...

I would recommend to check the following items:

- Make sure you follow the instructions listed on this <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/0b/50ad3e1d1edc61e10000000a114084/frameset.htm">page</a> for editing UME properties

- Make sure you restart your entire server cluster (i.e. central instance and dialog instances)

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Joseph
