Test Single Logout

After single logout has been configured you can test it. For this test, single logout will be initiated at SP1.

Initiating single logout from the SP requires that you have two web pages to initiate and confirm single logout.

• Using welcome.html, the page previously created as the target resource for single sign-on, add a link to this page that directs the browser to the Single Logout Service at IdP1. This link would have the following syntax:

  <a href="http://idp1.example.com:9090/affwebservices/public/
  saml2slo>Log Me Out</a>

• Create a confirmation page called SLOConfirm.html with a logout confirmation message, such as

  <p>You have successfully logged out</p>

Copy both these pages to your web server's root directory under the subfolder /spsample.

Note: A SSO transaction must be executed before SLO can be tested.

To test single logout

1. Be sure both sides of the partnership are activated in the Federation Manager UI.
2. Configure and test single sign-on according to the previously documented instructions.

   If single sign-on is successful, the welcome page is displayed in the browser.

3. Keep the browser open and click the link Log Me Out on the welcome page.

   If successful, you should be redirected to the confirmation page that displays the message:

   You have successfully logged out.
