How to redirect users after Sign Out in Cognos Analytics?

Question & Answer


Question

By default, Cognos Analytics returns users to the Cognos Analytics main page when they click the Sign Out link. This can result in confusion in the case where single sign-on is configured as users will be immediately logged back in again.

In Cognos 11.1, you no longer need to create a html file to redirect users. Logout/login URLs can be specified directly from the portal. You will not need to restart the services after updating the URLs.
