Customize Logout Page

When a user signs out of the application or is timed out of the Advantage application, the system redirects the user to a page where the user is allowed to sign back in using their user ID and password. However, for sites that utilize single sign-on, this is problematic as most users do not know their Advantage credentials because they do not use the Advantage login page. Therefore, the following parameters in the ADV30Params.ini file should be updated by sites that want to customize the logout page.

  • LogoutPage - When this parameter is set to false (the default value), the user is transitioned to the login page after logging out or after a session timeout. If a site does not want the user transitioned to the login page, this parameter should be set to true. The user is transitioned to a logout page, and the message displayed on this page is controlled by the value of the LogoutPageMessage parameter.

  • LogoutPageMessage - This parameter includes the custom text that your site wants displayed to the user on the logout page when the LogoutPage parameter is set to true. The value of this parameter should be updated if the LogoutPage parameter is set to true.

  • LogoutAlternateURL - This parameter includes the URL that the user is directed to when they select the Sign In Portal button on the logout page. For example, if a custom logout page is enabled and the user clicks on the Sign In Portal button, the system opens to a page using the URL specified in the new LogoutAlternateURL parameter instead.
