APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Some web application applications in IBM Business Automation
Workflow redirect to the login page after you log out. In Single
 Sign-On configurations, some users might not have (or be aware
of) a user ID and password combination and, therefore, are
confused when they see this page.

PRODUCTS AFFECTED
Business Automation Workflow
IBM Business Process Manager (BPM)
IBM BPM Express
IBM BPM Standard
IBM BPM Advanced

Local fix

  • Following the instructions in "Configuring third-party
authentication products"
(https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS8JB4/com.ibm.w
bpm.imuc.doc/topics/tsec_thirdpartyauthentication.html),
configure a custom logout page for each web application.

Problem summary

  • In environments that are configured with Single Sign-On, such as
 SPNEGO, or redirect to an identity provider, such as User
Management Service or any SAML IdP, being redirected to the
login page might confuse users who do not have a user ID and
password to log in.

Problem conclusion

  • A fix that modifies the following web applications to redirect
you to their main entry point will be included in a future
release of Business Automation Workflow:
Business Process Rules
Performance Admin
Process  Center
Process Portal
Heritage Portal
Process Admin

In non-SSO environments, you will be redirected to the login
page. In SSO environments, the fix triggers the authentication
flow, which might redirect you to the identity provider.
