Accessing the logout feature

[Stapleton, Steven J. (James)]

No, I tried insisting that the logout feature was not a good idea, but some people are insisting we need it (there is currently no logout button). Could you provide me with some convincing links about /why/ no option other than 'close all browser windows' would be a good idea? They won't listen to me.

Thanks,
-Jim Stapleton

That's all you need. /Shibboleth.sso/Logout is installed automatically by that and the specifics of "local" logout are documented in the wiki (but there's nothing much to it).

That said, if you can't do real logout (and you can't), I question the wisdom of offering it. If you have to have a logout link you can't remove, then making it do something is better than nothing, but removing it sometimes is even better.
