PI08254: [ENH] DOES THE LOGOUT IN TM1 WEB SUPPORT A CUSTOM JAVA AUTHENTICATION PROVIDER (CJAP) AGAINST CA SITEMINDER ?

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The customer is using Cognos Security (IntegratedSecurityMode=5)
  for user authentication in TM1 and TM1 Web.?   ?Due to the
  customer's global IT policies, all web applications and portals
  must use CA SiteMinder for user authentication, thus they
  configured Cognos Security to use a Custom Java Authentication
  Provider (CJAP) to access CA SiteMinder. ?   ?One of the
  customer's global IT policies (covering all web applications and
  portals) dictates that each logon (to a web application or
  portal) creates a SiteMinder session cookie which is invalidated
  by the logoff.  To invalidate the SiteMinder session cookie
  every logout must call a dedicated logout page defined by CA
  SiteMinder.  To achieve that the application's HTML logout page
  may execute a redirect to the CA SiteMinder's HTML logout
  page??In Cognos BI you can specify a Custom Logout Page (calling
  CA SiteMinder's logout page which invalidates the SiteMinder
  session cookie) in the configuration file system.xml?   ?As such
  a feature does not exist for TM1 Web, the customer requested an
  enhancement to add this feature to TM1 Web.?   ?In a future
  release of TM1 Web it shall be possible to customize the logoff
  in TM1 Web, the URL invoked by the Logoff button, that it
  invokes instead of the default URL another URL pointing to a
  Custom Logout Page which invalidates the SiteMinder session
  cookie. ?
