To Change the Logout Link Actions for WebSphere Portal Server 6.1

1. Ensure that the WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Portal Server 6.1 instances are running.

2. Access the WebSphere administrative console by entering the following URL in the location field of a Web browser:

   http://example.com:admin_port/ibm/console

   where example.com is the name of the server and admin_port is the port assigned to the administrative console.

3. Click Resources > Resources Environment > Resource Environment Providers.

4. On the Resource Environment Providers page, make the appropriate selection, depending on your version of WebSphere Application Server and your portal environment:

   • For WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1, select the appropriate node or cluster from the scopes pull-down list, depending on your portal environment.

   • For WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0, select the appropriate node or cluster from the scopes pull-down list. Or uncheck the Show Scope selection drop-down checkbox and select one of the following options, depending on your portal environment:

     • If your portal is running as a single server, select Browse Nodes and select the node.

     • If your portal is installed in a cluster, select Browse Clusters and select the portal cluster.

5. Select the “WP ConfigService” service.

6. Click Custom Properties.

7. Do the following, as required:

   • Set redirect.logout to true.

   • Set redirect.logout.ssl to true or false, depending upon the environment.

   • Set redirect.logout.url to the OpenSSO Enterprise logout URL. For example:

     http://opensso-host.example.com:8080/opensso/UI/Logout

   • When you are done, click Save at the top of the screen under Message(s).
