Info about SLO on IPDv4 - no final logout response

Hi,

correct my if I'm wrong, but didn't the SP asynchronous extension just 
signal to the IdP that the IdP should not redirect back to the SP global 
logout status page after SLO?

As far as I remember, the IdP does not send a SAML logout request to the 
initiating SP in any case, and the initiating SP (Shibboleth) does not 
trigger the SOAP logout endpoint (if configured) of the web application.

So, as Scott said, it's the initiating web application's task to first 
terminate the web application session, then trigger SLO via the SP 
(Shibboleth).
