titleLOGOUTUSER

This service terminates a Yellowfin session. However, it requires the LoginSessionId to be able to log the user out. This is is enough to identify the user, hence the user ID is not required. When a single sign-on is performed with either the LOGINUSER or LOGINUSERNOPASSWORD functions, you can get the LoginSessionId via:

Code Block
languagejava
String token = response.getLoginSessionId();

 

Save this value, so that you can pass it out to the LOGOUTUSER request later:

Code Block

request.setLoginSessionId(token);

  • Here is a basic request for this call:

  • Pass the login session ID:

    Code Block
    languagejava
    rsr.setLoginSessionId(token);
    
  • If the user is logged into multiple Tomcat sessions simultaneously, then you can even specify which session to terminate by setting a parameter, for example:

    Code Block
    languagejava
    String[] _sessionId = new String[]{sessionId}; // log out by Tomcat session Id (cookies JSESSIONID)
    rsr.setParameters(_sessionId);

    Only one session should be provided for termination per request. Note that the Tomcat session ID is optional; if omitted, Yellowfin will terminate all of the user's sessions.

  • Once the request is configured, perform the call:

    Code Block
    languagejava
    AdministrationServiceResponse rs = adminService.remoteAdministrationCall(rsr);

Complete Example

Below is a complete example of the LOGOUTUSER function. This script is designed to perform the following steps:

  • Call the LOGINUSER service which retrieves the LoginSessionId;
  • Configures the login link. You will need to click this link first, to initialize a Yellowfin session for the specifed user. (In our example we will log in the user john.smith@yellowfin.com.au. Make sure that the user you mention, already exists in your Yellowfin instance, or you can even modify the userId.)
  • Configure the link to log out. You will need to click this once the session has started.

 

To use this script for yourself, carry out the following the steps:

  1. Copy the code and save it as test.jsp.
  2. Put the file in the root folder: Yellowfin/appserver/webapps/ROOT.
  3. Adjust the host, port, admin user and user to login/logout according to your environment.
  4. Run http://<host>:<port>/test.jsp from your Internet browser.
