Hi Brett, is this only happening in Chrome?

 

Did you use the latest version of the SharePoint iApp to deploy? Should be f5.microsoft_sharepoint_2010_2013.v1.2.1.

 

The iApp will assign a logout URI to the APM policy to terminate the session when you click the logout button in SharePoint. I just tested this using a deployment configured by the iApp, and the session was correctly killed after I clicked logout in Chrome.

 

thanks

 

Mike

Thanks Mike, I was not using the latest iApp but have just downloaded it and tested the scenario with it and have the same outcome. The "sign out" URL prepends the subsite name to the /_layouts/15/SignOut.aspx in SharePoint and then it doesn't work. We have multiple subsites so adding them all to the Logout URl is not an option. (If I remove the subsite name, it does log out correctly.)

 

However, I also have to have a solution that kills the session if they just close the browser as many of our users do not click the logout button - thus leaving access to their personal information accessible to the next user. The SharePoint site is Internet facing so we are not able to enforce anything using group Policy either.

 

Firefox behaves perfectly, logs out using the button and terminates session when browser is closed. I have been able to get IE to work like I want it to using iRules but not Chrome. Haven't even tried Safari yet!
