Configuring the Portal Logoff URLLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

Use this procedure to call another Uniform Resource Locator (URL) when you choose Log off from the SAP NetWeaver Portal. Calling another URL enables you to avoid logging back into the portal automatically, if you are implementing a Single Sign-On (SSO) solution. Or you can call a URL to trigger some action during logoff, such as, logging the user off of a third system or starting a trace.

Prerequisites

This procedure requires you to restart the SAP NetWeaver Application Server (AS) Java, so you should plan for the required downtime while the AS Java restarts.

Procedure
  1. Configure the required UME properties.

    For more information about editing UME properties, see Editing UME Properties .

    You must always set the UME property ume.logoff.redirect.url . This property determines the URL used during logoff.

    Enter the full URL including protocol.

    Tip

    ume.logoff.redirect.url= http:// <server>/<logoffpage>

    You can call the logoff URL in a hidden IFrame by setting the UME property ume.logoff.redirect.silent . The URL called in the hidden IFrame remains invisible to the user. The browser is otherwise redirected to the portal logon URL. For this reason, if you are using a SSO solution, only enable silent redirect if you want users to login automatically after logging off.

    To enable silent logoff, set ume.logoff.redirect.silent to TRUE .

  2. Restart the AS Java.
Result

When users choose Log off from the portal, they are either directed to the new logoff URL, or the portal calls the logoff URL in a hidden IFrame.
