Redirect user upon logout iRule

How would I create an iRule that would enable a user to be immidiately redirected when they log out of the application.

 

 

Here is what I am looking to accomplish:

 

 

1:User logs all the way out of our SAP application.

 

 

2:Capture SAP response of launching SAPLogin.jsp

 

 

3:Redirect to abc_btf/ghi1.jsp

 

 

Also, how would I fit this in so that a Successful log out would allow the user to view previous pages, but does not allow interaction with the previous pages.

 

 

Does this make any sense?

    Hi,

     

     

    Can you clarify what you mean by "launching SAPLogin.jsp"? Does the web application send the client a 302 redirect with SAPlogin.jsp as the Location header value? Or is it a javascript-based redirect? If it is a redirect, you could rewrite it by triggering on the HTTP_RESPONSE event and looking for HTTP::status of 302 with a Location header value that contains SAPLogin.jsp. If you confirm this is what is happening, the rule is pretty simple to write.

     

     

    As for preventing a user from interacting with previous pages, you could try clearing their cookies, if the SAP app doesn't do this already upon logout. Without cookies in subsequent requests, I would assume the SAP app would prompt them to log in again.
