Q.
How can I integrate Novell exteNd Director and iChain so that a logout issued from within the portal actually terminates the directory connection that you can see in the portal statistics gadget?

A.
Dear Randy: Portal needs the following parameters (from either form inputs or from the querystring parameters):
NPService=AuthenticationService
NPServiceDataType=PortalData
logoutButton=Logout
To logout of iChain, you will also need the following parameter:
ICSLogoutPage=http://myichain.mydomain.com/cmd/BM-Logout
So in xsl, an href might look like this:
href="{$Portal.Servlet.Normal}NPService=AuthenticationService&
NPServiceDataType=PortalData&logoutButton=Logout&
ICSLogoutPage=http://myichain.mydomain.com/cmd/BM-Logout"
Or you can use a form with inputs, such as those found in portal\gadgets\ com.novell.nps.authentication.Authenticator\skins\default\devices\ default\main.xsl
