APM - Close Browser

Hello,

I have APM configured and working correctly for SSO with PEOPLESOFT.

But due to a request from the CISO, I need the browser to be closed every time the user logs out.

Is it possible to do this in APM or irule?

 

Regards

 

Paulo

    It would be nice, but browsers don't allow javascript to do that unless the same javascript opened the page in the first place. 

     

    See this discussion:

    The ordinary workaround is to 302 redirect or .location() them to a page that:

    1- Clears (resets to an invalid value or sets it to expire, usually do both) their cookies and/or any session storage.

    2- Shows them a "you are safely logged out, please close your browser now" message.
