Q.
How can I integrate exteNd Director and iChain so that a logout issued from within the portal actually terminates the directory connection that is seen in the portal stats gadget?
A.
The portal needs the following parameters (from either form inputs or querystring parameters):
NPService=AuthenticationService NPServiceDataType=PortalData logoutButton=Logout
To log out of iChain, you also need:
ICSLogoutPage=http://myichain.mydomain.com/cmd/BM-Logout
In xml, 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:
portal\gadgets\com.novell.nps .authentication.Authenticator \skins\default\devices\default\main.xsl
