WS-Federation is primarily used to achieve Single Sing On (SSO). This raises the challenge how to securely logout from multiple applications once the user is done with his work. To navigate to each application previously used to hit the logout button would be quite inconvenient. Fortunately the WS-Federation standard does not only define how to do single sign on, but also how to do single logout.
In this blog I'll explain how to setup a demonstrator to show single sing-on as well as single sing-off. Since single sing-off is implemented in CXF Fediz version 1.2, I'm going to use a snapshot build since 1.2 is not yet released.
