3.9.1 Customizing Applications to Use the Access Gateway
Logout Page
If any of your protected resources have a logout page or button, you need to redirect the user's
logout request to the Access Gateway logout page. The Access Gateway can then clear the user's
session and log the user out of any other resources that have been enabled for single sign-on. If you
do not redirect the user's logout request, the user is logged out of one resource, but the user's session
remains active until inactivity closes the session. If the user accesses the resource again before the
session is closed, single sign-on re-authenticates the user to the resource, and it appears that the
logout did nothing.
1 In the Administration Console, click Devices > Access Gateways > Edit > Reverse Proxy /
Authentication.
2 In the Embedded Service Provider section, view the path to the AGLogout page in the Logout
URL option.
The Logout URL displays the URL that you need to use for logging users out of protected
resources. This option is not displayed until you have created at least one reverse proxy with a
proxy service. If you create two or more reverse proxies, you can select which one is used for
authentication, and the logout URL changes to match the assigned reverse proxy. For more
information on changing the authentication proxy, see
Authentication Proxy Service," on page
3 Use this path to redirect application logout requests to this page.

/cmd/BM-Logout
