    Question:

     

    We're running CA PAM, when I protect the application with SAML, then
    the SLO functionality doesn't work as expected. I don't get logged off
    the application even if I have clicked on the logoff button.

    My environment is integrated with CA Single Sign-On 12.7 as IdP.

     

    Answer:

     

    After the logout, when the browser comes back to the IdP, it presents
    a SMSESSION cookie. As this session is still valid, then the IdP side
    doesn't request you any credentials, and IdP sends the SAML response
    to the SP PAM side. That's why you get the impression that the Logout
    functionality doesn't work with SAML.

    But in order to make the logout button to remove the SP and the IdP
    cookies, you need to open an Idea on the PAM product. You should
    request PAM SAML Authentication functionality to implement the full
    SAML SLO functionality.
