Configure Single Logout

The single logout protocol (SLO) results in the simultaneous end of all sessions for a particular user, thereby ensuring security. These sessions must be associated with the browser that initiated the logout. Single logout does not necessarily end all sessions for a user.

Note: SiteMinder only supports the HTTP-Redirect binding for the single logout protocol.

By configuring the settings on the SLO tab you are informing the Identity Provider whether the Service Provider supports the single logout protocol, and if so, how single logout is handled.
