[CLOSED] Logging out of a WebFOCUS Session
Hi and thank you for stopping by this post. I am trying to add a logoff button to our WebFOCUS app but I can't find a way of doing this. During logon, IBIF_Action is WF_SIGNON but there does not seem to be a corresponding action for logoff. One post mentioned WF_SIGNOFF but this does not seem to exist. An easy solution would be to have the button close the page but I would prefer to avoid that. Is is possible to log off by deleting the WF_USER cookie with javascript? Or is this stored on the server along with WF_COOKIE? Or, is there some better method to accomplish this?

I use js to remove the contents of WF_USER, and then move the user to their start page.

Seems to do the trick.
