Logout

[Ray Bon]

If a vendor's session timeout triggers logout behaviour, the vendor software is clearly broken.

Some new (to my IdP) SPs invoke our IdP's Logout profile, killing the SSO session.
That isn't necessarily the behavior the users want or expect - especially if the Logout is called merely because of an application time-out. I suppose I should try to get those SPs to change to a less impactful behavior, but in the absence of that, I wonder about rewiring calls to the Logout profile to allow the user the option to destroy the SSO session or not; or even "just saying No" to destroying the SSO session. Have you dealt with this situation? How does your IdP respond to SPs triggering 'global' logout instead of just ending their SP session?
