Logging out: pkmslogout

Edit online

About this task

For some authentication methods, users can use the pkmslogout command to log out from the current session.

The pkmslogout command is not appropriate for authentication methods that supply authentication data with each request, such as basic authentication, certificates, or IP address authentication. In these cases, you must close the browser to log out.

Procedure

  1. Run the pkmslogout command to log out from the current session. For example: https://www.example.com/pkmslogout
    When this request is made, WebSEAL returns the appropriate logout form defined in the WebSEAL configuration file: [acnt-mgt] logout = logout.html
  2. Modify the contents of the appropriate response page (such as logout.html) to meet your specific requirements.
