Configuring What Happens on Openspace Logout

When a user logs out of TIBCO Openspace, usually the current Openspace session is cleared and the current URL is reloaded. However, you can specify a different URL to load, using the Openspace property logout.path. If you are using CA SiteMinder, for example, you can specify the URL of a custom logout page that clears the SiteMinder session.

The property logout.path is in the Openspace config.properties file, in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM configuration directory. For example:

  • Openspace:

    C:\ProgramData\amx-bpm\tibco\data\tibcohost\Admin-AMX BPM-AMX BPM Server\data_3.2.x\host\plugins\com.tibco.openspace.login_1.7.1.00n\resources\config.properties

  • Accessible Openspace:

    C:\ProgramData\amx-bpm\tibco\data\tibcohost\Admin-AMX BPM-AMX BPM Server\data_3.2.x\host\plugins\com.tibco.os.a11y.app_1.1.1.005\accessibility\config.properties

Prerequisites

TIBCO recommends you back up the config.properties file before amending it.

Procedure

  1. Open the config.properties file in a text editor.
  2. Configure the property logout.path as follows:
    Value Description
    logout The default value causes the ActiveMatrix BPM server to clear the current Openspace session and then the current URL is reloaded, which results in the Openspace login page being displayed.
    Empty string (or property is commented out or missing) This causes the Openspace client browser to clear the current Openspace session and then the current URL is reloaded, which results in the Openspace login page being displayed.
    A URL starting http This value causes the ActiveMatrix BPM server to clear the current Openspace session and then this URL is loaded. If you are using SiteMinder, you can specify the URL of a custom logout page that clears the SiteMinder session and then redirects to your preferred login page: either the Openspace login page or a custom login page.
  3. Save and close the config.properties file.
  4. Log out and log back into Openspace for the changes to take effect.
