== [[/|Shibboleth]] / IdP Logout ==

This page documents the IAM built logout capability of the IdP. It is a simple bit of JSP script that detects the presence of the _idp_session cookie in the client browser and then sets the cookie for removal of its present. It also provides a return parameter for returning a client browser back to the control of an application. The following flow diagram helps to illustrate the use of the facility.

To deploy this, stick it in the root of the WAR file.  You can either use 
zip to add it to the WAR file or a better idea would be to put it in the 
src/main/webapp/ directory of your Shibboleth install directory.

I found another interesting logout idea from NCSU:

 http://xteams.oit.ncsu.edu/iso/shibboleth/logout

They provide multiple logout pages that have different behaviors.  We may 
implement that here at OSU also.

I don't know if this information would be worth putting in the wiki, but 
hopefully the next guy that needs to implement IDP logout will have a 
better starting point than I did!
