It seems that you alreday have implemented single logout in your domain.
Could you please explain more detail how you do that. Which version of Idp and Sps
do you use ? Did you develop a code which deleting all sessions cookies from IdP?

I need to do the same thing in my authentication based shibboleth. 
My IdP and SPs are in the same domain. I am using IdP 2.3.8 and SP 2.4.3 or SP 2.5

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Lanxin
