Logout

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi,

I have implemented the SSO and it is working well. The problem i have is. If i logout out of my web application i want the user to also be logged out from the jforum.

How can this be performed?

I did try

SessionContext session2 = JForumExecutionContext.getRequest().getSessionContext();
session2.invalidate();

but this didn't work and just threw a nullpointer exception.

Thanks

Paul

I have tried this

JForumExecutionContext executionContext = JForumExecutionContext.get();

// Create a ForumContext
ForumContext forumContext = new JForumContext(request.getContextPath(),
".page",
new WebRequestContext(request),
new WebResponseContext(response));

executionContext.setForumContext(forumContext);

// If you have a valid JDBC connection at this point, you can
// set it as well
executionContext.setConnection(null);

// Set back the new execution context, so we can use it
JForumExecutionContext.set(executionContext);

UserAction us = new UserAction();
us.logout();


but get this exception

what I did is, embedding the user/logout page in an iframe of the surrounding logout page. This way - when the user pressed "logout" on the surrounding page, it would also logout the user internally, using its own logout mechanism

sorry for being stupid, could you elaborate on this. I am quite new to jforum.

Thanks for your help.

You do know the mechanism for module and action?

The module is "user", the action is "logout". Simply login and then move the mouse over the logout button to get the clue:
http://www.jforum.net/user/logout.page

For logging out a user of the surounding website we have a "confirmation" page. There we ask if the user REALLY wants to log out.

On this page we have an <iframe src="http://yourforumurl/user/logout.page"></iframe> tag in it. This is how the user is being logged out.

I hope I was being more clear on it now

hi,

i am facing same issue

I have implemented the SSO and it is working well. but i am facing one problem that when i click on logout it still show showing user is logged in

How can this be performed?

i did many try outs but still problem is not solved

JForumExecutionContext.getRequest().getSessionContext().invalidate(); //in UserAction.java -logout method

auto.login.enabled = false // in SystemGlobals.properties

i change redirect link in logout method but when user click on back it shows same page with user logged in

but this didnt work

SystemGlobals.properties file contains : -

authentication.type = sso
login.authenticator = net.jforum.sso.LDAPAuthenticator
auto.login.enabled = false
sso.implementation = net.jforum.sso.RemoteUserSSO
sso.password.attribute = password
sso.email.attribute = email
sso.default.email = sso@user
sso.default.password = sso
sso.redirect =
ldap.security.protocol =
ldap.authentication = EXTERNAL
ldap.factory = com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory
ldap.login.prefix = sAMAccountName=
ldap.login.suffix = OU=PLM,OU=TGSPUNE,DC=tgspune,DC=local
ldap.server.url = ldap://intgs-dc-02
ldap.field.email = mail
ldap.lookup.prefix = sAMAccountName=
ldap.lookup.suffix = OU=PLM,OU=TGSPUNE,DC=tgspune,DC=local

header.htm contains follwing htm code
<#if sso && logged>
<a id="logout" style="color:#ffffff;" class="mainmenu" href="${JForumContext.encodeURL("/user/logout")}"> ${I18n.getMessage("ForumBase.logout")} [${session.username}] </a>
</#if>

UserAction.java contains follwing logout code
public void logout()
{
System.out.println("--------------------------------");
UserSession userSession = SessionFacade.getUserSession();
SessionFacade.storeSessionData(userSession.getSessionId(), JForumExecutionContext.getConnection());
SessionFacade.makeUnlogged();
SessionFacade.remove(userSession.getSessionId());
userSession.setAutoLogin(false);
// JForumExecutionContext.getRequest().getSessionContext().invalidate();
// Disable auto login
//System.out.println("SessionFacade length : - "+SessionFacade.getAllSessions().size());
userSession.makeAnonymous();
SessionFacade.add(userSession);
JForumExecutionContext.setRedirect(this.request.getContextPath()
+ "/forums/list"
+ SystemGlobals.getValue(ConfigKeys.SERVLET_EXTENSION));
}


if anybody faces this problem then please reply

Thanks and regards
