Issue

  • When SAML is enabled, logging out from "SITE A" is not redirecting/stays at the respective site's home page itself. 

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.1
  • SAML plugin

Resolution

  • The ideal scenario is authentication functions at the entire portal level and not at the site level due to which it's not possible to get an individual signout page for each site.
  • In SAML, when the user clicks logout, Service Provider searches the IdP’s logout service address(http://ipaddress:port/c/portal/saml/slo) from the metadata(http://ipaddress:port/c/portal/saml/metadata) and redirects to same. In case the redirection URL is specified with respect to the site in metadata then logout redirection will always happen to that specified URL.
  • Even if SAML is not enabled, the default logout page can be defined using portal settings. Please refer to the below screenshot.

  • Please note: During signing out, the user will be signed out from the entire portal irrespective of sites.
