Error description

• You may encounter an issue where the RAM Web UI does not
  redirect the user to the home page when clicking on the logout
  link; this issue can occur when using WebSphere along with a
  proxy server - upon logout, instead of being redirected to the
  home page, you may be redirected to a page with the following
  message:
  
  "Successful Logout"
  
  The issue occurs because RAM uses the WebSphere internal logout
  feature to invalidate the session and correctly
  remove/invalidate any LPTA tokens, SSO cookies, etc.  However,
  in a scenario where proxy is used with WebSphere, a missing
  parameter is needed in RAM's logout page to redirect WebSphere
  internal logout feature to the RAM home page.
  

Local fix

• No known workaround
